Dominant defensively and efficient in possession, Tapsoba won the majority of his duels, completed 94% of his passes, and got on the scoresheet as Leverkusen crushed St. Pauli 4-0.

Julian Ryerson, Borussia Dortmund

A sensational attacking contribution from the full-back, who registered four (!) assists in Dortmund’s 4-0 win over Mainz. Truly impressive.
