Erling Haaland brought his outstanding Champions League form back to the Bundesliga over the weekend as Dortmund beat Schalke 4-0 on Saturday.
Haaland (8.7) scored two goals against Sevilla in Europe last midweek and helped himself to another two versus Schalke, as Dortmund bounced back from a couple of games without a win in the league.
Another Dortmund star key to the win was Jadon Sancho (8.4), who scored one and assisted another in the fixture against his team's rivals from Gelsenkirchen.
