Borussia Dortmund defeated 1. FSV Mainz 05 3-1 on Saturday to stay top of the Bundesliga table.

Erling Haaland scored twice for Dortmund, with Jude Bellingham also getting on the scoresheet. Jonathan Burkardt scored the only goal for Mainz.

The win keeps Dortmund two points clear of Bayern Munich, who play Hoffenheim on Sunday.

Dortmund started the game brightly and took the lead in the 12th minute when Haaland headed home a cross from Julian Brandt.

Haaland doubled Dortmund's lead in the 33rd minute when he fired a shot past Mainz goalkeeper Robin Zentner.

Bellingham made it 3-0 for Dortmund in the 55th minute when he fired a shot into the bottom corner of the net.
