Haaland, 21, who was widely tipped to leave Dortmund at the end of the season, netted twice in emphatic style after a blank draw in his last five games.

A thumping win over mid-table Wolfsburg put second-placed Dortmund six points behind Bayern, who are away from Arminia Bielefeld on Sunday.

Bayern, who were knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday, are chasing a 10th straight Bundesliga title.

In the spring sun, and in front of a capacity crowd at Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund turned the style in the first half with five goals in a devastating 14-minute spell.

Tom Rothe, 17, dreamed of a Bundesliga debut when the Germany Under-19 defender led Dortmund’s opening goal from a corner after 24 minutes.

The floodgates opened with four more goals in rapid succession.

Axel Vitsel fired under the feet of visiting goalkeeper Koen Castells, Manuel Akanji tapped a free-kick, and Emre Kane scored with a long-range shot.

The Wolfsburg defense was cut again when Marco Reus served a tap-in for Haaland, who applauded his teammate after scoring his first goal since late January.

It was the first time Dortmund held a 5–0 half-time league run in Germany’s top flight since April 2013.

Rees, who claimed assists for Akanji and Haaland’s first goal, came close as he fired just above the crossbar.

The Dortmund captain then paired up with Julian Brandt to release Haaland, who made it 6–0 after only 54 minutes in his second goal.

Wolfsburg found consolation late when Riddle Baku rebounded after a brilliant defense from Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel negated Lukas Nemecha.
