Reus, who won a controversial penalty when the two teams met last season, was given a hostile welcome to the capital.
But he silenced the home end with two first-half goals as Dortmund claimed their first ever away win at Union and gave themselves faint hope in the title race.
Captain Fantastic! 🖤💛@Woodyinho fires home from close range for goal number 1⃣5⃣0⃣ for @BlackYellow in all competitions. 👏
