DORTMUND, Germany (Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund edged second-placed Borussia Moenchengladbach 2-1 in the Bundesliga on Friday to bounce back from their first league loss in midweek and restore a nine-point lead at the top of the table going into the winter break.

Goals from teenager Jadon Sancho and captain Marco Reus gave Dortmund, who were stunned 2-1 by promoted Fortuna Duesseldorf on Tuesday, victory in the top-of-the-table battle and lifted them to 42 points from 17 games.
