Two goals at the end of the first half have given Borussia Dortmund a 2-0 lead over Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga this afternoon.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan had an early sight of goal for the visitors, but he saw his volley held by the keeper.

The home side then came even closer to breaking the deadlock as Sandro Wagner saw his header following a corner cleared off the line.

In the 41st minute Robert Lewandowski gave Dortmund the lead when he was picked out on the edge of the box by Mats Hummels, before sliding an effort into the bottom corner.

They scored again three minutes later through Milos Jojic, who cut inside from the right before bending a strike into the corner past Thomas Kraft.
