Borussia Mönchengladbach secured their second win in the Bundesliga with a narrow victory over VfL Bochum at the Veltins-Arena on Sunday.

The match saw Borussia Mönchengladbach take the lead through a goal from substitute Christian Plea just before half-time. The former Chelsea player scored his first goal for the club after coming off the bench to replace the injured Nemanja Matic.

Plea's strike was a testament to his clinical finishing and his ability to find the back of the net under pressure. It was also a moment of relief for the German side, who had been struggling to find the back of the net since the start of the season.

VfL Bochum, however, did not go down without a fight. They created several chances throughout the game but could only manage one shot on target during the entire match.

Despite this, they were able to hold out until the final whistle, thanks to some solid defending and a resilient performance from their goalkeeper.

Overall, it was a well-deserved victory for Borussia Mönchengladbach, who now sit top of the table with 22 points from seven matches. They will be hoping to continue their winning run when they face RB Leipzig next week.
