  • Vladimir Darida was then sent-off for a studs-up challenge on Marco Reus 
  • Dortmund 16-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko finished the job in injury-time 

A Julian Brandt thunder-strike and a goal from 16-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko bagged Borussia Dortmund all three points over Hertha Berlin on Saturday, 

Having squeezed into the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek BVB returned to the Bundesliga with momentum. It took them until the 54th minute for a breakthrough though, when Brandt smacked one into the centre of the goal from 30 yards. 

Dortmund’s task was made easier by Vladimir Darida being sent-off for a dreadful studs-up tackle on Marco Reus, before Moukoko sealed the points in injury-time.
