BERLIN: Borussia Dortmund's Anthony Modeste headed in a last-gasp equaliser to complete a sensational two-goal comeback and snatch a 2-2 draw against visitors Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga's Der Klassiker on Saturday.

The 34-year-old Modeste, who had faced massive criticism after netting just once in the league following his arrival this season, headed in at the far post with the last touch of the game after also setting up their first goal, to rescue a point and keep Bayern off top spot.

He also snapped Dortmund's eight-game losing run to Bayern in all competitions as the Bavarians ended the match with 10 men after Kingsley Coman was sent off in the 90th minute for a second booking. Elsewhere, struggling Bayer Leverkusen returned to winning ways under new head coach Xabi Alonso and trashed newly promoted Schalke 4-0.

Bottom team Bochum secured its first win of the season as three second half goals shocked Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0. Wolfsburg held Augsburg 1-1 while newly promoted Werder Bremen overpowered Hoffenheim 2-1. Agencies
