UEFA Champions League: Gladbach hammered Shakhtar Donetsk 6-0 as Plea nets hat-trick (Highlights) 2020-2021

    

Gladbach celebrate a thumping 6-0 victory over Shakhtar. The German side blew their opponents away in the opening 45 minutes, scoring four goals which included two from Plea. And when play resumed in the second half, it was a matter of how many. Stindl got the fifth before Plea capped off a perfect performance by slotting home from close range for his hat-trick in the 78th minute.

The result takes Gladbach top of Group B with Madrid and Inter in action later. They face Leverkusen in the league next and will be full of confidence after tonight's result. For the hosts, they must recover quickly after what was an utterly miserable performance. They are next in action against league-leaders Dynamo Kiev, before facing Gladbach again in their next Champions League fixture.
