While the game was relatively quiet before Reus’ injury, Dortmund turned up the heat following the skipper’s departure. Jude Bellingham and Anthony Modeste both had great headers which almost game them the lead.

Modeste’s header went just wide while Bellingham’s attempt was brilliantly saved by Alexander Schwolow.

While Schalke 04 fans were waiting for the keeper to be shown the red card, the linesman adjudged Larsson to be offside and so Meyer escaped punishment.

Dortmund continued to dominate the second half as Donyell Marlin. Jude Bellingham, Gio Reyna, and Karim Adeyemi tore down the flanks, constantly putting the Schalke defenders under threat.

With time running out for Dortmund to grab a winner, Dortmund took of Modeste and brought on Youssoufa Moukoko.

The decision was a brilliant one as the 17-year-old headed home from close range to grab the game’s only goal in the 79th minute.

His goal also made him the youngest scorer in the derby’s history.

Despite Schalke’s efforts to get back into the game, Dortmund hung on for the win, a win which took them to the top of the Bundesliga.
