Herr Dortmund was perhaps the most influential player on the pitch. He began with an assist for Alcacer's opener and scored Dortmund's third on the day, but just as important was the stuff he did in between all the statistics.

Marco Reus provided a mix of quick passing and showed off his dribbling skills to repeatedly create chances for a number of his team-mates. The one time the ball was at his feet in the box with little pressure, he slotted home his goal.

His ability to bring Hazard, Sancho, and Alcacer into play is priceless to this Dortmund side. Theoretically, Mario Gotze is possibly the only player who could replace the set of skills Reus brings to the pitch, but on current form, Reus stands head and shoulders above anyone else. Keeping him fit will be top of the list for Favre as Dortmund launch their title bid.
