Marco Reus stars in Borussia Dortmund 6-0 win

Marco Reus inspired Borussia Dortmund to a cathartic 6-0 win over Gladbach in Bundesliga on Sunday.

The Dortmund captain was involved in five of the six goals, scoring two himself and picking up a hat-trick of assists.

The hosts took the lead on 26 minutes when Donyell Malen forced a save from Yann Sommer and Marco Reus smashed in the rebound.

Malen doubled the lead shortly afterwards, beating Sommer in a one-on-one after slipping away from Gladbach’s high defensive line.

Dortmund’s US midfielder Giovanni Reyna left the pitch in tears shortly after Reus’ goal with an apparent hamstring problem, but his team continued their charge after the break.

Marius Wolf smashed a brilliant shot in off the bar to make it 3-0 and 17-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko added another with a tap-in five minutes later.

Reus, who had set up both of those goals, picked up his second goal with a neat finish into the bottom corner ten minutes from time.

Emre Can completed the rout with a penalty in injury time after Ramy Bensebaini brought down Wolf in the box.
