Borussia Dortmund 6-1 FC Koln: BVB score six to leapfrog Bayern Munich to move top of Bundesliga

Borussia Dortmund hit FC Koln for six in their bid to overtake Bayern Munich and move into the Bundesliga’s top spot with a 6-1 win at Signal Iduna Park. Raphael Guerreiro opened the scoring inside 15 minutes before Sebastian Haller quickly made it two and Marco Reus added a third on the half-hour mark. Ad Donyell Malen added a fourth on 35 minutes before Reus and Haller sealed braces in the second half to add insult to injury.

Malen burst forward on the right-hand side and slipped the ball through Julian Chabot's legs before he pulled back a cross back for Guerreiro in the middle of the box, and he settled the ball with a great first touch before poking a shot beyond Marvin Schwabe at the far post. Two minutes later, Dortmund had a second through a brilliantly worked team goal, finished off smartly by Haller.

Jude Bellingham found Reus on the edge of the box for the captain to produce a delightful flick to help the ball onto Guerreiro, who put the ball on a plate for Haller to fire Dortmund two goals in ahead. The best was yet to come for Dortmund, though, who scored a spectacular third through captain Reus. Mahmoud Dahoud flicked the ball over the Koln defence as Malen ran on to it before his close-range effort was beaten away by Schwabe, but Malen collected the rebound with his back to goal and found Guerreiro, who laid the ball off to Reus who curled a powerful but exquisite strike into the far top corner.
