Hertha Berlin cruise to Hamburg victory

Hertha Berlin have got their Europa League charge back on track after seeing off lowly Hamburger SV 3-0 at the Imtech Arena in the Bundesliga.

Sami Allagui gave the away side the lead, with his left-footed shot finding the back of the net following an Adrian Ramos corner.

It was 2-0 shortly after. This time Ramos got his name on the scoresheet, as he was picked out by Tolga Cigerci before finding the bottom corner.

The contest was all but over at the interval as Jos Luhukay's side added a third goal, courtesy of Ramos's second of the evening.

The striker beat Rene Adler with his right-footed shot following a fast break from the visitors to send Hamburg on their way to a sixth-straight loss.

Hamburg came close to pulling one back through Rafael van der Vaart, but the former Tottenham Hotspur man fired wide after finding the ball at his feet in the opposition box.
