History maker ... Takashi Inui celebrates his goal (Getty)
Eintracht Frankfurt has become the first promoted club to win its opening four games of the Bundesliga season after a superb solo effort by Japanese midfielder Takashi Inui secured a 2-1 victory at Nuremberg.

Teammate Erwin Hoffer had opened the scoring in the 25th.
Sebastian Polter ensured a nervy finish for the visitor when he pulled one back with 14 minutes, heading in Hiroshi Kiyotake's free kick.
