Borussia Dortmund stormed past VfB Stuttgart 5-0 with two goals from England international Jude Bellingham on Saturday to notch up its first win in four league games and climb to fourth place in the Bundesliga.
The host, which lost to leader Union Berlin last week, needed just two minutes to open its account with Bellingham slotting in from a Niklas Suele pass for his first league goal of the season.
Defender Suele was then left with too much space in the box, allowing him to volley in a cross in the 13th before U.S. international Gio Reyna, making his first start of the season after a string of injuries, threaded in their third goal in the 44th.
After the break Dortmund picked up where it had left off and England international Bellingham got his second goal of the afternoon, curling a superb effort past keeper Florian Mueller.
Another quick passing combination sliced open the Stuttgart defence, allowing Youssoufa Moukoko to tap in a Raphael Guerreiro cutback.
Dortmund is now on 19 points in fourth place, three off second-placed Bayern Munich, 2-0 winner at Hoffenheim, and four behind leader Union Berlin, which will be in action at VfL Bochum on Sunday.
