Reus sends Dortmund top with late winner in Berlin

BERLIN: Marco Reus admits Borussia Dortmund are struggling to pick up wins in the Bundesliga title race, even as his late goal sent them top by sealing Saturday’s dramatic 3-2 victory at Hertha Berlin.Dortmund’s win leaves them three points clear of defending champions Bayern Munich. Ivorian striker Salomon Kalou twice breached Dortmund’s defence in a poor first half by the visitors, who have taken 12 points from a possible 21 in their last seven league games.Danish midfielder Thomas Delaney and defender Dan-Axel Zagadou twice equalised for Dortmund before Reus’ late strike at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium. Hertha had defender Jordan Torunarigha and substitute striker Vedad Ibisevic sent off in the final few minutes of a bad-tempered match."The most important thing was the three points we took," Dortmund captain Reus told Sky. "We dominated the second half and played better football the first. "We’re struggling to win, but that’s the only way we’ll get more confidence," he added.
