Borussia Dortmund scored five first-half goals as they thrashed Wolfsburg 6-1 in the Bundesliga.
Tom Rothe, Axel Witsel, Manuel Akanji, Emre Can and Erling Braut Haaland were all on target for the hosts in a blistering first 45 minutes.
Haaland then netted his second and Dortmund’s sixth shortly after the break, with Ridle Baku scoring a late consolation goal for Wolfsburg.
Dortmund stay second in the table, and are six points behind Bayern Munich.
It’s the second time Dortmund have scored six goals in less than two months.
The Black and Yellows thrashed Borussia Monchengladbach 6-0 in the league on 20 February.
Defeat leaves Wolfsburg 13th in the Bundesliga, having lost four of their past five games, and they have conceded 14 goals in that stretch.
