Football : Dortmund beat Monchengladbach 2-1 to go nine points clear at top of Bundesliga

Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus scored to propel Borussia Dortmund nine points clear of Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach following a 2-1 Bundesliga victory over the latter club. The battle of the top two was decided by Sancho's fine solo strike and Reus' conversion of a sublime assist from Mario Gotze. Christoph Kramer had equalised for the 'Foals' just before the break. Borussia took the lead in the 42nd minute when Sancho passed to Oscar Wendt before defeating Yann Sommer. Yet the Foals were level in first-half stoppage time as Christoph Kramer poked home from a Denis Zakaria cross. But 10 minutes after the break Sancho freed up Gotze who delivered a low cross for Reus to make it 2-1.
