DORTMUND, Germany (Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund's blistering start to the season under new manager Lucien Favre gathered momentum as the Bundesliga leaders consigned ailing AS Monaco to a 3-0 defeat in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Dortmund's young Danish striker Jacob Bruun Larsen, brought on at the break after a mediocre first half from Favre's unbeaten high-flyers, broke the deadlock within six minutes before strikes from Paco Alcacer and captain Marco Reus heaped more misery on Monaco.
