Dortmund were ruthless and clearly the better team, dictating the play (57% possession) and registering almost twice as many shots at goal as VfB (19-10). The match facts.

Busy Bellingham: Jude Bellingham recorded the most shots of any player (four), contested the most challenges (30, of which he won an impressive 60%) and had 94 touches of the ball (only Niklas Süle had more). The reward for this strong performance was his first brace in a BVB shirt!

Strong Süle: One goal, one assist, a 70% challenge win rate, the only player to touch the ball over 100 times (110) and three shots. It was the first time in his Bundesliga career that the defender has amassed two scorer points in one game (one goal and one assist).

Historic Moukoko: Youssoufa Moukoko scored the ninth goal of his Bundesliga career; at 17 years and 11 days old, the BVB forward is the youngest player ever to score nine Bundesliga goals. The previous record was held by Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz at the age of 18.4 years.

Always right-footed: Giovanni Reyna has scored each of his seven Bundesliga goals with his right foot, six of which have come at home. This latest Bundesliga goal – his seventh, and his first in 14 months – drew him level with his father Claudio.

First set-piece goal: Borussia Dortmund's second goal was the first they have scored from a dead ball in this Bundesliga campaign.

Impressive home record: Borussia Dortmund have scored at least one goal in 40 Bundesliga home games in a row, extending what is already a club record.

Dream start: The Black & Yellows scored with the first shot of the match. It was the earliest Bundesliga goal BVB have scored since 6 March 2021, when Erling Haaland also scored in the second minute away to Bayern.

Record win: This was Edin Terzic's biggest Bundesliga victory as a coach, surpassing the 4-0 win at Schalke on 20 February 2021.

Favourite foe: Borussia Dortmund have won 10 of their last 12 Bundesliga clashes with VfB.

Young teams: The average age of the VfB starting XI (24.2 years) was only narrowly younger than the Dortmund starting line-up (24.2). It was the youngest starting XI BVB have named since 16 March 2019, when they won 3-2 away to Hertha with an average starting age of only 23.6.
