Salomon Kalou ends 11-game barren spell in Hertha Berlin's win

Salomon Kalou ended his 11-game goal drought after netting the opener in Hertha Berlin's 3-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.

The former Chelsea star last scored a goal in October; a brace that earned Pal Dardai's side a 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund.

After a cagey affair between both sides in the opening minutes, Kalou broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark with his third league goal of the campaign.

The Cote d'Ivoire international maneuvered past Monchengladbach defenders before placing his shot beyond goalkeeper Yann Sommer's reach.

The effort was the 33-year-old's sixth in 10 outings against the Borussia outfit, making them his favourite goalscoring opponents alongside Hannover 96.
