DortmundDelivers assist in win
Silva assisted once to go with three shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Villarreal.
Analysis: Silva replaced Marcel Sabitzer in the 75th minute and made an instant impact, forcing Peter Gulacsi into a save within seconds of entering the game before setting up Serhou Guirassy's decisive 80th-minute strike. After latching onto Jobe Bellingham's through ball from the right, Silva drove into the box and squared for Guirassy to tap home with his longer leg. Silva tested Gulacsi again with his third effort in the 83rd minute, though the Villarreal goalkeeper was equal to it, leaving the substitute with one assist and three shots on goal in just 15 minutes of action. Silva's immediate spark off the bench proved to be the decisive tactical move of manager Niko Kovac's evening.
Makes near instant impact
Silva scored a goal with his lone shot while crossing once inaccurately during Saturday's 3-2 win over Hoffenheim.
Analysis: Silva entered the match in the 62nd minute and scored Dortmund's second goal just four minutes into his appearance. The goal was the first this season for Silva, as he didn't feature in the opening match last weekend, putting him halfway to last season's total in the league when he made 28 appearances.
Strikes as substitute
Silva scored a goal with his lone shot during Sunday's 4-0 win over Freiburg.
Analysis: Silva entered the match in the 84th minute scored Dortmund's final goal in the 87th. The goal was the first since February for the forward as he's comibned for two shots and three crosses over his last three appearances.
