Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's impressive form continued as his hat trick led Borussia Dortmund to victory over Qabala in Azerbaijan.
A hat trick from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw Borussia Dortmund triumph 3-1 at Qabala in Europa League on Thursday.
Group C leader Dortmund was without Henrikh Mkhitaryan — the Armenian playmaker left behind because of tensions between his home nation and Azerbaijan — but the prolific Aubameyang maintained the visitors' strong start to the competition.
After Thomas Tuchel's men were made to sweat early on — Matthias Ginter clearing off the line from Dodo — Aubameyang scored twice in seven minutes after the half-hour mark to put Dortmund well on its way to three points in Baku.
