The Morocco international ended his goal drought in the German top-flight with a brace at the Benteler-Arena on Sunday
Amine Harit ended his nine-month goal drought in the German Bundesliga with a brace in Schalke 04’s 5-1 victory Paderborn.
Sunday’s outing was the first time the 2017-18 Bundesliga Rookie of the Season award winner scored a goal in the German top-flight since November 2018.
The Morocco midfielder found the back of the net twice in the second half to help David Wagner’s men grab their second league win of the season.

Senegal centre-back Salif Sane inspired Schalke 04’s fight-back with his 33rd-minute header which cancelled out Cauly’s opener for Paderborn.
After the restart, Harit stretched the visitors’ dominance to give them a 3-1 lead with his effort in the 71st minute.
The 22-year-old later grabbed his brace to wrap up the emphatic comeback win for Schalke 04 with five minutes left on the clock.

Meanwhile, Nigeria‘s Jamiliu Collins was on parade for Paderborn for the duration but could not help his team end their four-game winless streak in the Bundesliga.
Schalke 04 are sixth in the league table with seven points from four matches and they host Mainz 05 next at the Veltins-Arena on Friday.
