Game over
Dortmund have done their homework. The hosts win with plenty to spare and move to within a point of leaders Bayern Munich with just two games to go. Next up for the Black-and-Yellows: a tricky trip to Augsburg next weekend.

Kobel to BVB's rescue
Lainer sets up Stindl who cracks a shot at goal. Kobel dives across and gets a wrist to the ball, deflecting it high and away from the target. BVB living dangerously here.

A Stindl special
Lovely stuff from Lars Stindl, who takes a touch before finding the corner of the net from distance. Some slight uneasiness can be sensed among the home fans.

Adeyemi wants more
The Dortmund forward cuts inside his man and curls an effort into Olschowsky's hands.

Penalty rarity
Another interesting stat emerging from today's game is that Dortmund conceded their first penalty of the season here. They were the last team to lay claim to a penalty concession-free campaign prior to today.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Gladbach chance
Adeyemi heads a clearance out towards the edge of the Dortmund area. Neuheus connects on the volley and his shot flashes over. That was a well-hit effort.

Malen has another pop
Malen thumps one straight into Olschowsky's arms. It's non-stop BVB. Gladbach are desperate for the break here. But what do you say to your troops if you're Daniel Farke? Tricky.

Olschowsky save
Adeyemi sets up Malen, whose strike is palmed away by young Jan Olschowsky. It's been a tough afternoon for the 21-year-old custodian. Not that any of today's goals can be pinned on his shoulders.

Dortmund delight
Amazing. This is a Black-and-Yellow party and we're still in the first half. Lovely movement from Malen out wide and when the cross comes in, Haller confidently swipes home for yet another Dortmund goal.

Dortmund's scoring patterns
It seems 6-0 is something of a theme for Dortmund today. As we know, the Black-and-Yellows' Bundesliga win against Wolfsburg last weekend arrived with just that scoreline while they put Gladbach to the sword with a 6-0 triumph at Signal Iduna Park last season.
Gladbach's good omen?

BVB: as you were
No surprise, perhaps, that Dortmund boss Edin Terzic is going for the same starting XI as that which began last weekend's 6-0 victory against Wolfsburg. It's the first time the BVB coach has gone unchanged two-games running this season.

Mid-table masters Mönchengladbach
Full steam ahead
Depending how Bayern do earlier in the day against Schalke, Dortmund could have a chance to regain top spot or require a win to avoid losing ground on their title race rivals. Either way they are set to come out firing for the three points!
