The floodgates opened up in the second half, as Thorgan Hazard placed the ball into the bottom corner after going through on goal.
Jadon Sancho then got on the scoresheet after combining brilliantly with Marco Reus. The Dortmund captain then got on the end of Thorgan Hazard’s low cross to double his tally. Before Jadon Sancho sealed the rout with an easy finish after a blistering counter attack.
It was an emphatic win for Borussia Dortmund that put them right back into the title picture after weeks of struggle.
