Dortmund: Italian striker Ciro Immobile scored his first goal for Borussia Dortmund as the German side produced a dominant performance to outclass Arsenal 2-0 in their Champions League opening group game in Dortmund on Tuesday. Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang added another early in the second half to help Dortmund to a fully deserved 2-0 win in their Group D clash.

Arsenal had won in Dortmund in the group stage last season but they were always on the back foot against a relentless home team. Jurgen Klopp's side had 15 attempts on goal in the first half alone although they were far from clinical until Immobile struck on the stroke of half-time. Aubameyang then rounded Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny to kill off any hopes of an unlikely comeback on a punishing night for the Gunners.
