Reus takes top spot in Player of Matchday 26 poll
Cologne - After setting up two of Borussia Dortmund's three goals in their victory at Hannover 96 on Matchday 26, Marco Reus has been voted Player of the Week by an overwhelming majority of bundesliga.com users.
Reus was at his influential best at the HDI Arena, setting up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the opening goal with a superbly disguised pass, before an incisive run into the box shortly before the hour-mark allowed the Germany international to square for Shinji Kagawa to restore BVB's one-goal lead in an eventual 3-2 win.
Reus wins at a canter
The 25-year-old's assists were the highlight of yet another match-winning individual performance that saw him storm to top spot after the latest round of Bundesliga action, collecting 78 per cent of the votes.
Despite being involved in an historic win over league leaders FC Bayern München, scoring both goals in a 2-0 victory, Borussia Mönchengladbach's Raffael could only garner 14 per cent in the post-Matchday ballot. The Brazilian helped the Foals to their biggest ever win in Munich and has now scored each of Gladbach's last four goals away from home.
Bringing up the rear was Bayer 04 Leverkusen's Karim Bellarabi, who had more shots than any other player on the pitch (six) in the Werkself's narrow 1-0 win over FC Schalke 04, earning him eight per cent of the votes.
