Borussia Dortmund 6-1 Stuttgart | Bundesliga match report
Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick and added an assist to lead Borussia Dortmund to a 6-1 rout of Stuttgart on Friday, lifting the side provisionally top of the Bundesliga before their home Champions League match against Arsenal on Wednesday.
Dortmund went behind in the 13th minute when Karim Haggui scored with a header from the visitors' only corner.
But Sokratis equalised six minutes later in similar fashion, three minutes before Marco Reus made it 2-1 with a fine solo effort.
Lewandowski decided the game when Reus set him up with a back-heel in the 54th minute and Henrikh Mkhitaryan sent him though to score again less than two minutes later.
The Poland striker claimed his ninth of the season on a rebound in the 72nd minute and set up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score in the 81st.
Dortmund moved two points clear of Bayern Munich, who visit Hoffenheim on Saturday.
