Gladbach, who have now won six of their eight matches at home so far, are in seventh place on 22 points, three behind Dortmund.

Jonas Hofmann, who was included in Germany’s World Cup squad, put the home side in front after four minutes before Julian Brandt, another Germany international, drew the visitors level with a superb equaliser.

However, Gladbach scored twice more in a four-minute spell with Ramy Bensebaini and Marcus Thuram to go 3-1. Dortmund pulled one back with Nico Schlotterbeck’s volley on the rebound, but the Ruhr valley club were badly leaking at the back.

Only a minute after the break, Kouadio Kone was given too much time at the edge of the box and he threaded a low shot past goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.

Thuram should have added at least one more goal but he missed a string of golden chances as Dortmund faltered.
