Borussia Dortmund's perfect start to
the season wenton on Sunday as their 4-0
win at new-bIngolstadt saw them leapfrog Bayern Munich to top the Bundesliga
table on goal difference.
Dortmund claimed their sixth win in
all competitions under new manager Thomas Tuchel as defender Matthias Ginter,
Marco Reus, Shinji Kagawa and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored second-half goals.
"I knew we'd go top of the
table after we went 3-0 up, but what especially pleased me was the
performance," said Tuchel.
"I'm proud that the team kept
the performance up for 90 minutes and never waned.
"I'd hoped in the halftime
break that they would be rewarded for playing well."
Dogged Ingolstadt defending meant
Dortmund only went ahead when right-back Ginter fired home Henrikh Mkhitaryan's
final pass on 55 minutes.
Germany winger Reus doubled the lead
by converting a penalty on the hour after left-back Marcel Schmelzer was
fouled.
Kagawa added the third with a superb
shot off his left foot after beating two defenders on 84 minutes before
Aubameyang claimed his sixth goal in six games in stoppage time.
Later Borussia Moenchengladbach, who
will discover their Champions League group stage opponents on Thursday, dropped
to bottom of the table on goal difference after losing 2-1 to Mainz.
Leaky defence let them down again
having lost 4-0 to Dortmund last Saturday.
