Aubameyang scores twice for Dortmund to beat Ingolstadt 2-0

“I still need to score 20 goals to do it, right?” he told Ruhr Nachrichten.

According to the Daily Star, the Gabon megastar has his eyes set on breaking Bayern Munich legend Gerd Muller’s record of 40 goals in a single season in Bundesliga, which was set in 1972.

The former Saint-Etienne forward looked to be offside when he headed in Lukasz Piszczek’s cross to give Dortmund the lead but he believes such decisions balance out over the course of the campaign.

Ingolstadt was even able to overcome Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Buerki, as Mats Hummels’ lob found its way into the own goal at the 65th minute.

The hosts responded and Sokratis Papastathopoulos should have put his team ahead after latching on to a free-kick from Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but he could only send his close-range header over.

“It’s true I’ve achieved my goal, but I haven’t yet managed to fulfil my bet with the coach, you’ll have to be patient”, he said.

With the result, Dortmund reduced the arrears to front-runners Bayern Munich to five points for the moment as Ingolstadt stay in 10th place after suffering their eighth loss of the season.

Aubameyang is three ahead of Robert Lewandowski in the scoring charts but the 26-year-old says a rivalry is not something that distracts him.

Hertha Berlin remain third despite squandering a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Werder Bremen.

Javier Hernandez also struck twice as Bayer Levekusen climbed back to fourth after beating bottom-placed Hanover 96 3-0.

Max Meyer and Leroy Sane grabbed the goals either side of half-time as they leapfrogged Borussia Monchengladbach – who lost 1-0 at Mainz on Friday night.

Then Bremen veteran Claudio Pizarro netted a penalty before defender Santiago Garcia fired in a shot which was later credited to Pizarro, who nudged the ball over the line to level the scores.

American teenager Chrstian Pulisic made his professional debut for Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, coming on as a substitute in his club’s 2-0 win over Ingolstadt.

On Sunday, Champions League side Wolfsburg host Cologne looking to bounce back from last Sunday’s shock defeat in Frankfurt as they prepare to face Gent in the last 16 in Europe next month.
