Reus stars as Dortmund bids him a fond farewell
Marco Reus scored and assisted in his final Bundesliga game for Borussia Dortmund as it thrashed already-relegated Darmstadt 4-0.
The German teed up Ian Maatsen for the opener on the half-hour mark before scoring a stunning free-kick eight minutes later to put Dortmund in control.
Donyell Malen scored his 13th goal of the season to round things off after substitute Julian Brandt had latched on to Jadon Sancho's ball for a third.
Dortmund could have had more as Reus, Malen and Marcel Sabitzer struck the woodwork in either half, but it did not matter as Darmstadt struggled to show a threat.
Edin Terzic's side finished fifth in the final UEFA Champions League spot, while Darmstadt is relegated as the bottom club.
Reus has been directly involved in 251 goals in the Bundesliga – 156 goals and 95 assists in 391 games – making him just the third player to reach 250 goals and assists since his Bundesliga debut in August 2009, behind only Thomas Muller with 318 and Robert Lewandowski with 367.
The German bids farewell to Dortmund having scored nine goals and assisting seven in all competitions this season, but he will be hoping to add to that tally in his final match for Dortmund, the UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid on 2 June (AEST).
