Marmoush keeps scoring as Frankfurt keep winning
Egypt forward Omar Marmoush has starred once again to lead Eintracht Frankfurt to a 4-2 win at promoted Holstein Kiel for their fourth straight Bundesliga win.
Marmoush scored two goals and set up the other two to help Frankfurt continue their winning run since starting the league with a 2-0 loss at Borussia Dortmund. He has scored in each of Frankfurt's four wins.
"It's a lot of fun," the 25-year-old striker said after his latest goal show on Sunday. "I'm happy to play for this team and to help with goals and assists. We're happy with the three points. That's what counts, and not who scores."
Marmoush opened the scoring in the 25th minute and set up Igor Matanović's first league goal after the break to cancel Shuto Machino's penalty equaliser for Kiel.
Machino scored again in the 50th minute, but Marmoush replied again in the 65th minute, nine minutes before he set up Brazilian defender Tuta to seal the win.
Frankfurt are just a point behind league leaders Bayern Munich after five rounds. Bayern dropped their first points on Saturday in a 1-1 draw with defending champions Bayer Leverkusen.
Elsewhere on Sunday, Jens Stage scored a hat trick as Werder Bremen recovered from conceding three early goals to beat Hoffenheim 4-3 in the late game.
The home team raced into a 12-minute three-goal lead after a brace from Marius Bülter and another goal from Adam Hložek, but the game turned following Stanley Nsoki's sending off in the 18th minute for a foul on Felix Agu when the Bremen player was through on goal.
Julian Malatini pulled one back three minutes later, Stage scored six minutes after that and then equalised in the 39th minute
Stage completed his hat trick after the break and Bremen might have had more – Derrick Köhn had another effort ruled out for offside.
