Achraf Hakimi ran the game from right back for Dortmund, cuing up Lukasz Piszczek to score the opening goal.

Jadon Sancho made it 2-0 with a solo goal before he and Hakimi combined in the buildup to Haaland's third.

Dortmund overtook Leipzig for second place in the league with the win and was just one point off leader Bayern Munich, which plays Cologne on Sunday.

Six days after the defense allowed two late goals in a 4-3 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, Dortmund's back line looked much improved against Frankfurt, which had few clear chances in its biggest defeat of the season.
