Mahdavikia plays full game as Borussia Dortmund trash Eintracht Frankfurt

Neven Subotic found the target twice while Tamas Hajnal and Felipe Santana also scored as Dortmund ran riot at Westfalenstadion.

The win sees Dortmund climb to sixth in the standings while Eintracht remain 12th, three points clear of the drop zone.

Before the match, Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp had said he wanted his players to break their home slump following a run of one win and five draws at Westfalenstadion.

And his words appeared to have been taken on board by Dortmund as they went in front after five minutes.

Subotic, the club's leading scorer this campaign, rose highest to meet Hajnal's cross and head the ball beyond the reach of Oka Nikolov in the Eintracht goal.

Hajnal then made it 2-0 in the 20th minute when the Hungarian midfielder made the most of some sloppy defending to pick up a pass from Jakub Blaszczykowski and smash the ball home from 12 yards.

Eintracht's back-line was looking vulnerable and it was no surprise when they conceded another nine minutes later.

Hajnal was again involved, pumping in a free-kick which was headed home by Subotic to give the American defender his seventh goal of the season.

The visitors eventually carved out an opportunity after 33 minutes but Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller was equal to the shot from Nikos Liberopoulos.

But Dortmund continued to have things their own way in the second half and substitute Mohamed Zidan could have stretched their lead with a 20-yard drive which flew narrowly wide.

A fourth goal did arrive after 68 minutes though and once more Hajnal played a part, swinging in a corner for Felipe Santana to nod into the bottom corner.

Hajnal was denied a deserved second goal 10 minutes from time when his close-range effort was turned away by Nikolov, while Liberopoulos had one last chance to get Eintracht on the scoresheet but was again thwarted by Weidenfeller.
