The Danish goalkeeper made a series of impressive saves to help Union Berlin secure a clean sheet in their 0-0 draw with Freiburg.

Kevin Diks, Gladbach

Diks was a standout performer as Gladbach secured their first Bundesliga win of the season with a 4-0 triumph over St. Pauli, winning five duels, making seven clearances and completing 93 percent of his passes.

 

Tom Bischof, FC Bayern

Impressing at left-back, Bischof won all four of his ground duels, provided an assist and found a teammate with 90 percent of his passes.

Florian Kainz, 1. FC Köln

Given a rare start, the veteran impressed with a stunning free-kick goal and an overall strong performance against HSV.
