Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice from the penalty spot as Borussia Dortmund came from behind to win 4-2 at Hannover and maintain their perfect start to the season.
Dortmund had only conceded once in their previous three Bundesliga games this season, but found themselves behind 18 minutes in on Saturday when Artur Sobiech rounded off a superb counter attacking move for the hosts.
After Aubameyang equalised with his first spot-kick of the game, Henrink Mkhitaryan's ninth goal of the season - a stunning right-footed effort from the edge of the area - put Dortmund ahead at the break.
But a calamitous attempt at a clearance from Dortmund captain Mats Hummels, making his 200th Bundesliga appearance, allowed Sobiech to steal in and pull Hannover level early in the second half.
However, Hummels' error was out-done at the other end when Felipe, who had already marked his first league appearance of the campaign by giving away the earlier penalty, scuffed into his own net from a drilled cross from Dortmund debutant Adnan Januzaj - who came off the bench on the hour.
And Aubameyang then converted another penalty late on to ensure Dortmund made it nine wins from nine in all competitions this term as Thomas Tuchel's fantastic start to life in charge at Signal Iduna Park continued.
