American teen Gio Reyna set up three goals for Borussia Dortmund in a 4-0 win over Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The 17-year-old Reyna, who started the season with an assist and a goal in Dortmunds 3-0 win over Borussia Mnchengladbach, assisted Erling Haaland in the 31st minute, Emre Can in the 47th and set up Haaland to score his second in the 66th.
Substitute Felix Passlack wrapped up the scoring in injury time.
Dortmund, which lost its previous game in Augsburg, had looked set for another frustrating afternoon after creating little of note until Haaland made the breakthrough. Freiburg midfielder Nicolas Hfler lost the ball to Dortmund captain Marco Reus, and Reyna played it on for the 20-year-old Norwegian to fire inside the far post.
Reyna floated in a corner for Can to score Dortmunds second, and the American capped his outstanding display with another perfectly timed pass for Haaland to get his fourth goal in three games.
Borussia Mnchengladbach beat Cologne 3-1 in the Rhine derby to increase the pressure on the home sides coach Markus Gisdol.
Cologne has lost all three games so far and was fortunate not to concede more against Gladbach, which struck the crossbar late on after goals from Alassane Plea, Stefan Lainer and a penalty from Lars Stindl. Elvis Rexhbecaj scored Colognes consolation.
Only 300 fans were allowed into the game due to a high number of coronavirus infections in Cologne.
