Dortmund beat Marseille 3-0

Published on: 

Two goals from Robert lewandowski steered Borussia Dortmund to a 3-0 victory over Marseille that kick-started his team's campaign in the Champions league on Tuesday.

Having lost its opening match to Napoli, lewandowski's goals and another from Marco Reus put last season's finalists on track in Group F, while Marseille slipped to a second consecutive defeat.

lewandowski scored his first in the 19th after a fast break by Dortmund and converted a penalty in the 80th. Reus scored in between from a free kick in the 52nd.

"We played a very good game, but we have to play the next one just as well," lewandowski said.

Arsenal leads the group with six points after a 2-0 win over Napoli, which has three points.

Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp watched from the stands after being banned from the sidelines for one match because of an outburst against officials in his side's 2-1 loss at Napoli. "It was strange to look around and not see the coach, we won this one for him as well," defender Kevin Grosskreutz said.

Despite Klopp's absence, Dortmund produced a dominant performance, with Marseille hardly creating any chances after some early threats.
