Last season's Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund strengthened their position as early Bundesliga leaders with a 1-0 win at home to Werder Bremen on Friday.

Dortmund earned their third straight league win of the new season as Poland striker Robert Lewandowski showed why Borussia recently raised his wages from a reported 20,000 to 60,000 euros (US$80,286) per week for the last 10 months of his contract with the winning goal.

Lewandowski celebrated his 101st Bundesliga appearance when he converted Marco Reus's cross from the right in the 55th minute to claim the three points.

"I had a lot of chances and we're happy that we won, but we have to improve our game, 1-0 at home is not enough," admitted Lewandowski, who turned 25 on Wednesday.

With reigning European champions Bayern Munich, who are joint second with Bayer Leverkusen, hosting Nuremberg on Saturday, Dortmund's win at the Westfalenstadion leaves them three points clear with a goal difference of six compared to Bayern and Leverkusen's three.
