From Chelsea to Jimenez: Ian Darke’s Premier League surprise teams, players

Forward Niclas Fullkrug scored a hat trick to earn hosts Borussia Dortmund a 3-1 victory over VfL Bochum in their Ruhr valley derby on Sunday and lift them into the top four with their third straight league win this year.
The winner of the tournament, which begins next June in the U.S., will receive a golden trophy that can transform from a shield into a multifaceted and orbital structure.
