Borussia Dortmund 4 Atletico Madrid 0: Bundesliga leaders storm clear in Group A

Raphael Guerreiro struck twice while Jadon Sancho and Axel Witsel also scored as Borussia Dortmund banked a big win over Atletico Madrid.

Borussia Dortmund are looming as a Champions League threat after taking command of Group A with an incredible 4-0 home win over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Lucien Favre's Bundesliga leaders demonstrated impressive maturity to pile on three second-half goals and protect their unbeaten record in all competitions, while inflicting Diego Simeone's heaviest loss as Atleti coach.

The home side's defensive aptitude was scrutinised after Axel Witsel's heavily deflected 38th-minute opener and they convincingly passed the test with a dominant final 20 minutes, Raphael Guerreiro netting twice either side of a simple finish from fellow substitute Jadon Sancho.
