Borussia Dortmund powered past hosts Union Berlin 3-0 in the Bundesliga on Saturday to cut the gap to leaders Bayern Munich, while also tightening their hold on second place with their third straight league win, Reuters reported. 

Dortmund captain Emre Can converted his 10th-minute penalty after Serhou Guirassy was brought down, to put the visitors in the driving seat.

Nico Schlotterbeck then rose higher than all of his markers at the far post to head the ball into the top corner and double their lead in the 53rd, according to Reuters.
