Shinji Kagawa set up two goals as Borussia Dortmund beat Hertha Berlin 3-1 on Sunday to return to the top of the Bundesliga.

The former Manchester United playmaker charged through in the 27th minute and delivered a cross to the far post for Mats Hummels to head in.

Kagawa then chipped a pass for Matthias Ginter, whose cutback in the box found Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score his third goal in three games.

Hertha cut the deficit with former Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou tapping in a rebound but Adrian Ramos scored in stoppage time to ensure Dortmund go top on goal difference ahead of champions Bayern Munich.
