Borussia Dortmund 3 Stuttgart 0: Stoger's men strengthen Champions League chances

Christian Pulisic, Michy Batshuayi and Maximilian Philipp were all on target as Borussia Dortmund swept aside Stuttgart.

Borussia Dortmund bounced back from Der Klassiker humiliation to strengthen their grip on a Champions League spot with a 3-0 home win over Stuttgart on Sunday.

Crushed 6-0 by Bayern Munich last time out, Peter Stoger's side needed a morale-boosting three points and got exactly that courtesy of goals from Christian Pulisic, Michy Batshuayi and Maximilian Philipp.

BVB gained an early measure of momentum as they welcomed back Marco Reus, who missed the implosion at Bayern with an adductor problem, for just his sixth Bundesliga start of the season.
