Dortmund stop the rot to throw group wide open

Borussia Dortmund ended a worrying run of form with a vital 3-1 win at home to Napoli in Group F of the Champions League.Juergen Klopp’s highly-fancied BvB had lost three matches in a row, and another defeat would have seen last season’s finalists dumped out of Europe's premier club competition.But Marco Reus proved his worth with an early penalty after Robert Lewandowski was fouled, and he set up Jakub Blaszczykowski for a breakaway second on the hour mark.Napoli pulled one back when Lorenzo Insigne scored just after coming off the bench, but fellow substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang restored the two-goal advantage with a cool finish.The result means Dortmund join Napoli on nine points with one match remaining, as leaders Arsenal move on to 12 ahead of an interesting final matchday.KEY MOMENTSPre-match: Dortmund field a defence boasting three midfielders as injuries take their toll.

Injuries to three defenders meant Sokratis was accompanied by two wing-backs and a midfielder in a makeshift back four. Given the resources at their disposal, surely Klopp should have a few more senior defenders? Manuel Friedrich is not the solution.MAN OF THE MATCHMarco Reus (Dortmund) – A cool finish from the spot and a fine assist, Reus was the best of a good bunch in an impressive counter-attacking performance.PLAYER RATINGSDortmund: Weidenfeller 7; Großkreutz 7, Sokratis 6, Bender 6, Durm 6; Sahin 7, Kehl 6; Blaszczykowski 7, Mkhitaryan 7, Reus 7; Lewandowski 7; Subs: Aubameyang 7, Piszczek NA, Schieber NANapoli: Reina 7; Maggio 6, Fernández 5, Albiol 6, Armero 6; Dzemaili 6, Behrami 6; Callejón 7, Pandev 6, Mertens 5; Higuaín 6; Subs: Inler 6, Insigne 7, Zapata 6(uk.eurosport.yahoo.com) ANN.Az
