However, after the match, Dortmund coach Lucien Favre admitted that RB Leipzig, who went ahead after just one minute, were dominant from the start of the game.
"They were better than us, especially in the first 35 minutes. They were faster and stronger than us in 1v1 battles, they quickly went 1-0 up and continued to create chances that we didn't defend well against overall. Then we reacted well," Favre told bvb.de.
Mahmoud Dahoud equalised after 21 minutes before an own goal from Marcel Sabitzer and an Axel Witsel goal added to the lead before the break. In injury time, Marco Reus made it 4-1 after a nice pass in behind from subsitute Jadon Sancho.
Despite the convincing win, Favre underlines that there is much to improve on.
"There's still a lot to improve on. We should have used the wide areas more when in possession to counter Leipzig's pressing. I won't say that we were lucky, but it went well for us," he said.
