The 23-year-old Derry Scherhant was a key figure in the recent 2-2 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt.

For this performance, Scherhant was voted Man of the Match by fans and named in kicker's Team of the Matchday.

The Japanese forward also scored in the 5-0 home win against Borussia Mönchengladbach and is a central factor in the strong start. The team sits third in the table with ten points, just two points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund. The full standings show the tight race at the top.
