MARCO REUS GRABBED a brace as Borussia Dortmund capitalised on Bayern Munich’s dropped points against Frankfurt to move to within five points of the league leaders.
Thomas Tuchel’s side found the going tough against Werder Bremen on Saturday but went to to the break 2-1 in front thanks an early strike from Reus and a late one from Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
With twenty minutes left, Reus scored his second of the game to put the result beyond any doubt – the German attacker racking up five goals in his last three appearances for the club.
With Bayern drawing 0-0 on Friday, the victory for Dortmund inches them ever closer to their rivals – despite suffering that thumping 5-1 loss to Pep Guardiola’s side in early October.
