Champions Borussia Dortmund crushed Cologne 5-0 with two goals from in-form striker Robert Lewandowski on Saturday to move into second place in the Bundesliga, three points off leaders Bayern Munich. Dortmund bounced back in style from their 3-1 Champions League defeat to Olympiakos with a dazzling performance reminiscent of their championship-winning form of last season. It was their fourth successive league win.
Poland international Lewandowski, who has seven goals in 10 games, scored either side of halftime after goals from Shinji Kagawa and Marcel Schmelzer had given the hosts an early cushion. VfB Stuttgart's Mexico international Maza rescued a 2-2 draw at Nuremberg with a header at the far post six minutes from time. The draw was enough to move them into third on 17.
