Marco Reus Climbs up Borussia Dortmund’s Goal Scoring Charts With Penalty Against RB Leipzig

Marco Reus is edging closer to cementing his place as Borussia Dortmund’s leading goal scorer in all competitions.

The German international scored a penalty against RB Leipzig to notch up his 159th goal for the Bundesliga side.

The goal took Reus past Manfred Burgsmüller who he shared third place with. He has now drawn level with Michael Zorc as the second highest goal scorer in all competitions in the club’s history.

As noted by Transfermarkt, only Adi Preißler has scored more.

The late German player scored 177 goals for BVB in 274 games. Reus has scored his 159 goals in 375 games.

Reus is out of contract at the end of the season, but is in talks with the club to sign a new deal. With a place in history within his grasp, it’s easy to see Reus signing a contract extension and trying to go down as Dortmund’s highest scorer of all time.
