Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marco Reus celebrated their team’s first goal against Schalke by producing Batman and Robin masks.<\/p>\n

Dortmund dominated the Ruhr derby but had to wait until the 78th minute for Gabon forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s breakthrough goal.<\/p>\n

That prompted Aubameyang to pull out Batman headgear while Reus celebrated by donning a Robin mask.<\/p>\n

Henrikh Mkhitaryan added the second goal before Reus secured victory.<\/p>\n

“If you didn’t know who Batman and Robin were before, you do now,” joked Aubameyang afterwards.<\/p>\n

It was Dortmund’s fourth straight Bundesliga win and lifted Jurgen Klopp’s side, who started February bottom of the league, into 10th spot.<\/p>\n

“Four weeks ago we were standing here talking about the relegation battle,” said Reus.<\/p>\n

“We’ll take this one game at a time. At the moment things look good but we have tough games ahead and there is still a long way to go.”<\/p>\n

In contrast, Roberto Di Matteo’s Schalke, who could have climbed up to third with victory, are without a win in three league games and stay fifth in the table.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the Bundesliga,\u00a0Bayer Leverkusen\u00a0<\/strong>took advantage of Schalke’s defeat to move fourth as Simon Rolfes got the only goal of the game against\u00a0Freiburg.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And former Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou scored with just two minutes remaining as\u00a0Hertha Berlin\u00a0<\/strong>beat sixth-placed\u00a0Augsburg\u00a0<\/strong>1-0 to move out of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
