Dortmund 1-0 Monchengladbach: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Table-Toppers Fail to Stretch Lead

Borussia Dortmund secured a vital victory on Saturday afternoon, as they beat leaders Borussia Monchengladbach 1-0 at the Signal Iduna Park.

The first half was filled with some excellent chances, and only remained goalless thanks to some fantastic goalkeeping. Roman Burki did brilliantly to keep Breel Embolo out on two occasions, while Yann Sommer was in fine form as ever with a string of incredible saves.

Soon after the half-hour mark, Borussia Dortmund went ahead through Thorgan Hazard. Or, well, didn't. While he got a bit of luck with a deflection that took it past Sommer, it didn't matter as VAR ruled it out for a ridiculously tight offside call in the buildup.
