Werder Bremen hit 'jackpot' with returning Niclas Füllkrug
· Bundesliga-Official
Niclas Füllkrug’s second-half brace against Paderborn rescued a valuable point for Werder Bremen on Matchday 6 and shot the former Borussia Dortmund man to the top of the 2026/27 Bundesliga scoring charts.
Following difficult spells with West Ham United in England and Italian giants AC Milan, the 33-year-old striker is beginning to look like his old self again in his second spell at Werder Bremen.
His clinical start to this campaign marks his best goalscoring return in a season since 2023/24, when he netted 12 times for Dortmund. Having already reached his current tally in just six games, the experienced marksman will fancy his chances of adding plenty more before the season is out.
His quick-fire double at home to newly promoted Paderborn proved crucial, rescuing a point for Bremen after they trailed by two goals at half-time. The result leaves them eighth in the table, just one point adrift of the top six.
