Bensebaini scores as Borussia Monchengladbach hit Shakhtar Donetsk for six

Ramy Bensebaini capped an impressive outing with a goal as Borussia Monchengladbach decimated hosts Shakhtar Donetsk 6-0 in Tuesday’s Champions League encounter.

Fuelled by Alassane Plea’s hat-trick, the Prussians proved too hot to handle by the Ukrainian Premier League giants at the Donbass Arena.

Manager Marco Rose fielded the same starting XI that held Spanish giants Real Madrid to a 2-2 draw the last time out. That paid off as the Germans took the lead with their very first attempt at goal after Plea fired Stefan Lainer’s assist into the left corner of Anatolii Trubin's goal.
