Erling Haaland scored twice as Borussia Dortmund closed the gap on Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich with a 3-0 win over Greuther Furth at Signal Iduna Park.

Thorgan Hazard saw an early effort ruled out for offside, before Dortmund were awarded a penalty following a VAR review on a handball against Maximilian Bauer in the 33rd minute.

Haaland kept his cool to slot home from the spot and added a late second with a header.
