VfL Wolfsburg secured their first three points of the calendar year, beating ten-man SC Paderborn 4-2 in a topsy-turvy encounter at the Benteler-Arena.
Ben Zolinski gave the hosts the lead midway through the first half, but Robin Knoche equalised for VfL before Gerrit Holtmann was given his marching orders for the hosts.
Daniel Ginczek’s brace put the Wolves firmly in the driving seat, before Sebastian Vasiliadis’ powerful strike gave Paderborn hope.
VfL had the last laugh, though, Maximilian Arnold curling a trademark free-kick into the bottom corner to secure the Green-and-Whites’ first league win of 2020.
