Borussia Dortmund have thrashed Mainz 4-1 in their latest Bundesliga clash. The victory was the fifth straight for the German giants, who have now scored over 25 goals in a row across all competitions.
The match was dominated by Borussia Dortmund, with the visitors controlling the game from start to finish and creating numerous opportunities for themselves. Their dominance was illustrated by the fact that they were awarded three penalties throughout the game, with each one being converted by Jadon Sancho.
Mainz struggled to find any rhythm against Dortmund, with their defense unable to cope with the pressure applied by the German champions. The home side's lack of organization allowed Borussia Dortmund to score four times, with Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland both finding the back of the net twice.
Despite conceding early on, Mainz managed to create some chances of their own before halftime, but they were unable to convert them into goals. However, the hosts did manage to grab a goal late on through a penalty, which was converted by Bruno Genscher.
In other news, Christian Eriksen has been ruled out of the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his injured knee. The Denmark international had only just returned to action following a lengthy injury lay-off, and his absence is a major blow for Tottenham Hotspur.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich remain top of the Bundesliga table despite losing to RB Leipzig last weekend. The Bavarians have won six games in a row and sit five points clear at the top of the league. However, they will face a stern test when they travel to Eintracht Frankfurt next week.
