Full-time: Eintracht Frankfurt 7-2 Bochum

A humbling day at the office for Bochum, who were put to the sword by the flying Eagles! Hugo Ekitiké opened the scoring, before Omar Marmoush, Ansgar Knauff and Nathaniel Brown put Frankfurt in total control. Danny de Wit and Philipp Hofmann scored either side of the break to give Bochum hope, but goals from Mahmoud Dahoud, Can Uzun and a second Ekitiké strike added plenty of gloss to the scoreline for the home team.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).
This looks about right on the balance of play.

Half-time: Eintracht Frankfurt 4-1 Bochum

An electric first-half from the hosts as they coast into a three-goal lead! As soon as Hugo Ekitiké opened the scoring, Frankfurt had the bit between their teeth, with Omar Marmoush, Ansgar Knauff and Nathaniel Brown additionally finding the back of the net. Danny de Wit did pull one back for the visitors, but it only papered over one of many cracks.

Another for Marmoush!

Frankfurt are two to the good, and it is that man Marmoush again! Shortly after Kane had given Bayern Munich the lead against Union Berlin to move ahead in the goalscoring charts, the Egypt international curls a free-kick home to draw level. More importantly, Frankfurt are now in total control here.

Dino Toppmöller on Bochum

"I don't expect Bochum to sit back. They have a lot of players who are hungry to win the ball and defend high up the pitch. It will depend on what kind of quality and dominance we can bring to the pitch."

Markus Feldhoff's view on Frankfurt

"Frankfurt are a team who willingly allow the opposition to have the ball. An important area will therefore be that we don't allow them too much space. We need to cover things well against their quick transitions. Frankfurt's game isn't based on possession, so it makes the whole match more dynamic. It'll go back and forth a lot."

Watch: Egyptian Eagle - Omar Marmoush

Marmoush continued his sublime start to the season with another three goals and an assist in October, giving him the exact same return as Harry Kane with a division-leading nine strikes, plus four further provisions. The sky appears to be the limit for the latest Egyptian superstar following in the footsteps of Mo Salah, as we hear from old companions and early mentors.
