Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted a double as Borussia Dortmund edged closer to Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach.
Aubameyang moved three clear of Anthony Modeste in the Bundesliga scoring charts when he slotted in Dortmund's fourth midway through the second half, the culmination of an exquisite move from Thomas Tuchel's side.
In a whirlwind start to Saturday's clash at Signal Iduna Park, it had been Gladbach who took the advantage courtesy of Raffael's opener.
Their lead lasted less than a minute, though – Aubameyang hauling Dortmund level before Lukasz Piszczek headed the hosts ahead.
Gladbach did test Dortmund after the restart, but their resolve was broken inside the last half an hour – Ousmane Dembele and Aubameyang capping a sparkling Dortmund performance, the latter netting his 15th top-flight goal of the season.
The result moves Dortmund up into fifth place, six points behind the joint league leaders, while Gladbach have now gone eight league games without a win.
