Dortmund win over Hoffenheim

Erling Braut Haaland scored before later going off injured as Borussia Dortmund won at Hoffenheim

to move to within three points of Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.

Dortmund made the perfect start when Haaland tapped home Donyell Malen’s cross from close range after six minutes

for his 16th goal of the season, though he was forced off in the second half with an apparent groin injury and was replaced

by Axel Witsel.

Former Leicester striker Kramaric brought the home side level with a spectacular volley just before half-time,

but Malen teed up Reus to restore Dortmund’s lead shortly before the hour.

Malen then made it a hat-trick of assists when his cutback was turned in to his own net by Raum to make it 3-1.

Rutter’s cool finish from Munas Dabbour’s chipped pass brought Hoffenheim back into the game,

but they could not find the equaliser.
