Overview
- Haris Tabakovic scored his first Bundesliga double in a 4–0 win at FC St. Pauli, finishing once with his left foot and once with his right after earlier goals this season came mainly via headers.
- He has five of Borussia Mönchengladbach’s 10 league goals, a 50% share reported as the highest proportion for any player at a Bundesliga club so far.
- His opener provided Gladbach’s first lead of the league campaign and the victory moved the team off the bottom of the table, according to WELT.
- Tabakovic credited the team’s approach and said the two-striker system, with threats such as Franck Honorat and Shuto Machino, reduces defensive focus on him.
- Signed on loan from Hoffenheim to cover for injured Tim Kleindienst, the 31-year-old has shifted perceptions after early skepticism from fans.
