  Sebastian Mielitz

  Failed to react for Reus' early strike, but was unlucky to see Gotze's effort spiral away from him. The game finished in nightmare fashion for the hosts but that was hardly his fault. Indeed, had it not been for Mielitz, it could have been worse.

  3.00

  Clemens Fritz

  Overrun in midfield, he lacked the vision and ambition to get his team moving forward. However, he put in big effort. The same cannot be said of many of his team-mates.

  2.50

  Lukas Schmitz

  Given the unenviable task of trying to restrain Reus, but tried valiantly as the dangerous forward was mostly a threat from set-pieces.

  2.50

  Sebastian Prödl

  Given a torrid time by Lewandowski and had no answer for the Pole when he held up the ball to play in his companions. Never stopped trying, though.

  2.00

  Sokratis Papastathopoulos

  Conceded far too many needless fouls in his own half, putting the pressure on Werder and allowing Dortmund to dictate play.

  2.00

  Theodor Gebre Selassie Flop of the Match

  One of the more consistent threats for his team as he broke down the right, but needed to be a bigger presence in his own half as he was repeatedly caught out on the break, meaning that ultimately the negatives outweighed the positives.

  Kevin De Bruyne

  The Belgium international showed a handful of intelligent touches, but could not sustain his performance against a Dortmund midfield that was utterly dominant.

  3.00

  Eljero Elia

  Did not see enough of the ball, not least because he was so well marked. However, when he did get in possession, he looked a threat.

  3.00

  Aaron Hunt

  The focal point for much of Bremen's attacking endeavours, Hunt did well in what were difficult circumstances.

  2.50

  Zlatko Junuzovic

  Another disappointment for the Werderaner. Forced to play with his back to goal and was an ineffective presence in the final third.

  2.50

  Nils Petersen

  A frustrating day for the prolific striker, fed off scraps throughout the game and lost Santana for Dortmund's third goal.

  Aleksandar Ignjovski

  Came in late for Elia, but could not retrieve an already hopeless cause.

  Özkan Yildirim

  Replacing centre-back Prodl backfired as Dortmund ran rampant in the second half.

  Joseph Akpala

  Replaced Petersen up front, but despite some tireless running was similarly starved of possession in the area.

  Roman Weidenfeller

  A virtual spectator for a great part of the match, barely called into action thanks to a defence on top form. Made one notable save to ensure a clean sheet.

  4.00

  Mats Hummels

  Really should have at least tested Mielitz towards the end of the first half, but his indecision should not take away from a delightful break that took him through one on one. Overall, another impressive showing from the highly-rated centre half.

  3.50

  Lukasz Piszczek

  Given a few problems by Gebreselassie out wide, but more often than not was solid and distributed efficiently from the back. Two late assists further enhanced his already fine contribution.

  4.00

  Felipe Santana

  A towering effort in defence, had to play on the limit thanks to an early booking but was exemplary in the tackle and made several great interventions. Even got up the other end to score.

  3.00

  Marcel Schmelzer

  Given few problems out wide as he put in an efficient performance, taking the ball out well from the back.

  Sebastian Kehl

  The most understated member of Dortmund's midfield, but was diligent in anchoring the team and recovering possession to keep his side on top.

•

  4.00

  Ilkay Gündogan

  A masterful lofted pass set Dortmund in motion for the second goal. Gave the home side no end of trouble with his powerful bursts from deep.

  4.00

  Mario Götze

  Was a livewire across the Bremen half, taking advantage of his good fortune to double the lead. Earned a yellow for a cheeky Maradona-style hand.

  Kevin Großkreutz

  Merited his inclusion ahead of Kuba with an impressive display on the left, running hard and always looking for a team-mate.

  Robert Lewandowski

  An exemplary demonstration at centre-forward, full of sacrifice and hard work as he strived to bring his team-mates into the action. Grabbed a deserved goal at the end.

  Marco Reus Top of the Match

  Started the match in the best possible fashion, netting his seventh Bundesliga goal with a delightful free kick. A perfect corner delivery also teed up Santana.

  Had time to further twist the knife as he finished well for his side's fifth.

  Nuri Sahin

  Given a rapturous reception as he made a late cameo.
