Germany Under-21 captain Kevin Volland hit his fourth goal in as many Bundesliga games with the winner in Hoffenheim's 2-1 home victory over Borussia Moenchengladbach on Sunday.

Having scored in each of his last four league matches, Volland's strike lifted his team to seventh in front of Germany assistant coach Hansi Flick at Hoffenheim's Rhein-Neckar Arena.

Striker Anthony Modeste gave Hoffenheim the lead just before the break, then provided a superb through ball for Volland to pounce on, turn the defence and hit the bottom right-hand corner.

"It was a great pass from Anthony, things are going well for me, I worked hard in pre-season which gave me confidence," said the Germany Under-21 skipper.

"I just want to have a good season with Hoffenheim and anything else would just be a bonus," he added when asked about a possible call up to Joachim Loew's senior Germany side.
