Marco Reus and Henrikh Mkhitaryan seal Bundesliga win for Dortmund at Mainz


Borussia Dortmund beat Mainz 05 2-0 on Friday in coach Thomas Tuchel's return to his former club, ending their three-game winless run in the Bundesliga as they closed in on leaders Bayern Munich.

 
Marco Reus put Dortmund ahead in the 18th minute but the Germany international, criticised for a string of weak performances recently for club and country, saw his second half penalty saved as Dortmund wasted several good chance to score.
 
They had to wait until Henrikh Mkhitaryan's close-range effort in the 82nd minute to make the points safe.
