Borussia Dortmund 4-0 Borussia Monchengladbach: Reus & Aubameyang on target in Tuchel debut win

The new coach is making fans forget all about Jurgen Klopp already as his side beat Lucien Favre's men convincingly in their Bundesliga opener
Borussia Dortmund marked Thomas Tuchel's first Bundesliga game in charge with a stunning 4-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach at Signal Iduna-Park on Saturday.

Dortmund put the troubles of last season well behind them as they raced into a three-goal lead inside 33 minutes in their opening league match of the season, leaving Lucien Favre's Monchengladbach, who finished third last term, shell-shocked.

After Henrikh Mkhitaryan had a goal disallowed for offside, quick-fire strikes from former Monchengladbach man Marco Reus and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were just reward for Dortmund's flying start.

Mkhitaryan then added Dortmund's third and fourth either side of half-time, with Shinji Kagawa then squandering a golden-opportunity to grab a fifth soon after.

With champions Bayern Munich having hammered Hamburg 5-0 on Friday, Dortmund served a reminder that they are ready to challenge the Bavarian giants once again after finishing last season in seventh place.

Tuchel announced on Friday that long-standing first-choice goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller was to be replaced with new signing Roman Burki.
