Borussia Dortmund came from a goal down to beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-2 on Sunday, keeping alive their slim hopes of reaching the top four.

Serhou Guirassy, who scored a hat-trick in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Barcelona, was again key, scoring one and setting up another for Dortmund.

"We're much more secure and much more stable - that's extremely important," Pascal Gross told DAZN, adding "we've got four finals to go."

After a testy opening, Ko Itakura put Gladbach ahead after 24 minutes, playing a simple one-two with Kevin Stoeger to unlock the Dortmund defence.

Dortmund hit back with three goals in nine minutes before half-time.

Chelsea loanee Carney Chukwuemeka threaded the ball to Pascal Gross, whose lateral pass found Guirassy, who swept home.

Chukwuemeka again started the move down the right flank, his pass reaching Yan Couto, who in turn found Felix Nmecha, who scored a carbon copy of the opener.

Dortmund turned the screws. Daniel Svensson headed in a rebound from a Guirassy shot just before half-time.

The visitors hit back when Germany striker Tim Kleindienst was felled in the box by Nmecha, with Stoeger making no mistake from the spot.

Dortmund snuffed out the comeback however and now sit in seventh, four points off fourth place, having been as low as 11th.
