Lukasz Piszczek opened the scoring after 33 minutes, before Sancho's remarkable season continued when he was left in acres of space on the left wing on 50 minutes, dancing inside a defender before burying his shot.
Haaland then scored his ninth goal in six matches following his January move from Red Bull Salzburg - and Raphael Guerreiro added a fourth - as Dortmund re-stated their title credentials with a victory which leaves them one point off Bayern Munich having played a game more than their rivals.

"It was extremely important to keep a clean sheet today," said Dortmund defender Mats Hummels.
"We also did not give them many chances. This was not a clean sheet for the defence but for the entire team."
