Aubameyang sets new mark in Dortmund win
Marco Reus marked his return from six weeks out in style, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got his 26th Bundesliga goal of the season.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ensured 2016-2017 will go down as his most prolific league season to date with the final goal in Borussia Dortmund's 3-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.
Aubameyang passed up a pair of decent second-half chances before finishing a swift counter-attack to take his tally for the Bundesliga season to 26, improving on last-term's 25-goal haul.
The Gabon international's strike provided the gloss to a result that saw Dortmund recover from successive defeats to league leader Bayern Munich, and Monaco in the UEFA Champions League, a match that was postponed by a day after an attack on the German side's team bus on Wednesday (AEST) that put Marc Bartra in hospital.
Coach Thomas Tuchel spoke of the need for his side to rediscover the fun in its football ahead of this match and it got off to a great start with Marco Reus marking his return from six weeks out with a thigh injury by scoring inside 120 seconds.
Marco Fabian made up for a glaring early miss with a fine equaliser, but Sokratis Papastathopoulos sent Dortmund into half-time ahead with searing drive from the edge of the box.
Reus did not return for the second half with Tuchel perhaps looking ahead to Thursday's (AEST) UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg in Monaco, but Aubameyang ensured the hosts did not relinquish their lead with a dinked finish that sends them 10 points clear of fifth-placed Hertha Berlin.
