Deniz Undav was the star of the show as Stuttgart delivered a commanding 5-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund on Sunday. This result marked Dortmund's first defeat in the Bundesliga this season. Undav opened the scoring early, capitalising on a pass from Maximilian Mittelstadt to net within five minutes at the MHP Arena.

Stuttgart's relentless attack continued as Mittelstadt set up Ermedin Demirovic with a precise chipped cross, allowing Demirovic to head in and double their lead in the 21st minute. The visitors' defence struggled to cope with Stuttgart's pace and precision.

Enzo Millot further extended Stuttgart's advantage before former player Serhou Guirassy managed to pull one back for Dortmund in the 72nd minute. However, substitute El Bilal Toure and Undav each added another goal, sealing a comprehensive win for Stuttgart.

Maximilian Mittelstadt played a pivotal role, assisting twice in a Bundesliga match for the first time during his 180th appearance. Notably, he has provided more assists against Dortmund than any other team.

Dortmund now finds themselves eighth in the Bundesliga standings with seven points from four matches. Meanwhile, Stuttgart sits sixth with an identical point tally but boasts a superior goal difference.

Stuttgart's offensive prowess is evident as they have scored three or more goals in each of their last six home league games—a new club record. They remain unbeaten in their last 14 home matches in Germany's top division.

The xG (expected goals) statistics further highlight Stuttgart's dominance, registering 3.01 compared to Dortmund's mere 0.49 during this encounter.
