UEFA Europa League

Borussia Dortmund 7-2 Odd (agg 11-5): Reus runs riot in BVB rout

 

The Germany international struck three times, Shinji Kagawa bagged a double, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Ilkay Gundogan were also on target for Thomas Tuchel's free-scoring side
Marco Reus hit a hat-trick as Borussia Dortmund stormed into the group stage of the Europa League by hammering Odd 7-2 at Signal Iduna Park to progress 11-5 on aggregate.

The Germany international struck a hat-trick for Thomas Tuchel's men as they raced through the play-off round with an 11-5 aggregate triumph over the Norwegian side.

Having opened up a 3-0 lead in last week's first leg, only to lose 4-3, Odd again momentarily stunned their illustrious opponents as Ole Halvorsen levelled the tie with the game's opening goal, but it only served to stir Dortmund - who were 4-1 ahead by half-time.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan's eighth goal of the season got them level, before two from Reus and a fourth from Shinji Kagawa put Dortmund in complete control.

The goals continued to come after the restart as Ilkay Gundogan opened his account for the season, before Reus was on hand to score his third after 57 minutes.

Oliver Berg grabbed a consolation for Odd just after the hour, but it was Dortmund celebrating at the final whistle - after Kagawa had scored again - as they booked their place in Friday's group-stage draw.
