Erling Braut Haaland scored twice as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Freiburg in the Bundesliga in front of 11,500 fans. Manchester United target Jadon Sancho was again missing for Dortmund as he recovers from a respiratory infection.
In his absence, Giovanni Reyna, 17, laid on three goals with Haaland scoring either side of Emre Can’s 47th-minute header. Felix Passlack rounded off the scoring for the hosts, who lost their previous two fixtures.
After defeats by Bayern Munich in the Super Cup and Augsburg in the league, this was an emphatic return to form for Lucien Favre’s side.
Dortmund now sit third in the table with six points from three games. Eintracht Frankfurt are a point and a place above them, with RB Leipzig – also on seven points – topping the table after their 4-0 win over Schalke on Saturday evening.
