Borussia Dortmund let slip a two-goal lead before recovering to blast four goals in 16 minutes as they maintained their perfect start to the season with a thrilling 6-2 victory over Hamburg SV on Saturday.
.
New signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Robert Lewandowski netted twice each, Marco Reus capped a virtuouso performance with a goal and Henrikh Mkhitaryan completed the scoring as the Bundesliga leaders made it five wins out of five.
.
Champions Bayern Munich, also unbeaten and two points behind in second place, rode their luck to beat Hanover 96 2-0 while the club's former player Luiz Gustavo was sent off again for his new team VfL Wolfsburg as they lost 3-1 at Bayer Leverkusen.
.
Kevin-Prince Boateng's first goal for Schalke 04 earned a 1-0 win at Mainz 05 and Tobias Werner grabbed a stoppage-time goal to give Augsburg a 2-1 home triumph over second from bottom Freiburg who are still without a Bundesliga victory this season.
.
Vaclav Kadlec's double helped Eintracht Frankfurt win 3-0 at Werder Bremen who had Franco Di Santo sent off after 26 minutes for a dangerous high challenge which left Bastian Oczipka's face splattered with blood.
.
Dortmund got off to a flying start when Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan put them 2-0 ahead after 22 minutes, only to see Hamburg level through Zhi-Gin Lam's curling shot and a Heiko Westermann header. New signing Mkhitaryan then combined with Aubameyang before the Gabon forward scored with an angled shot in the 65th minute and Lewandowski added a fourth goal after being set up by a brilliant Reus dummy in the 73rd.
.
Reus made it 5-2, nonchalantly rolling the ball in after the Hamburg defence twice failed to clear, before Lewandowski headed the sixth with nine minutes to go.
