One of the bright sparks for Borussia Dortmund, going forward and tracking back was Thorgan Hazard. His consciousness to come back and help out in defence is immensely valuable to this team especially when the likes of Guerreiro or Hakimi bomb forward at will.

His attacking play has also looked more dynamic since arriving at Dortmund. While at Monchengladbach, he was a frequent name on the scoresheet but wasn't particularly known for his all-round play, a facet that he seems to have added to his Arsenal under Favre.

His deliveries look threatening on set-pieces as well and he got a couple of good shots away from outside the box as well that looked threatening. The Belgian is starting to carve a niche for himself under Favre and if Dortmund can sort things out at the back, they may be able to make the best of a great attacking force in Marco Reus, Jadon Sancho, and Hazard.
