BERLIN: Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush continued his blistering run of form in the Bundesliga on Sunday with an assist and a goal in his side’s 3-2 win away to VfB Stuttgart.

The Egyptian international enjoyed a dream return to former club Stuttgart, setting up Frankfurt’s first goal and scoring their third in a rollercoaster game.

Marmoush, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent weeks, has now notched up 14 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season.

With 11 of those having come in the league, he is now level with Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane at the top of the Bundesliga scoring charts.

The win saw Frankfurt remain in third, six points adrift of league leaders Bayern Munich and three ahead of reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, last season’s runners-up Stuttgart are now wallowing in mid-table having won only three of their first 10 games.

In Sunday’s late game, VfL Wolfsburg held on to win 3-1 away to Heidenheim and pull away from the relegation zone.

Elsewhere, Hoffenheim drew 0-0 with Augsburg — the result leaving both teams in the bottom half of the table, with Hoffenheim just a point clear of the bottom three in 15th.
