Dortmund 3-0 Bayer Leverkusen: Aubameyang seals win as hosts maintain perfect start

Borussia Dortmund continued their perfect start to the Bundesliga season with a 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen thanks to goals from Jonas Hofmann, Shinji Kagawa and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The hosts played with all the verve and conviction that has turned them into early title contenders, and Hofmann had the home crowd rocking after just 19 minutes when he latched onto Kagawa’s long ball to score.

Kagawa turned from provider to goalscorer in the second half, finishing a slick passing move with his second league goal of the season.

Aubameyang made it 3-0 from the penalty spot after Wendell brought down Matthias Ginter in the box, and Leverkusen were left licking their wounds after a third consecutive Bundesliga defeat.

The hosts' early dominance created a number of chances, the best of which came when Henrikh Mkhitaryan made space for himself on the edge of the box and lashed a shot towards goal - Bernd Leno having to be at his best to turn away for a corner.
