Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marco Reus had just put away their Batman and Robin masks, when Henrikh Mkhitaryan played the role of superhero by instantly doubling Borussia Dortmund's lead in the Revierderby versus Schalke on Saturday.
Only one minute after Aubameyang opened the scoring with what was Dortmund's 28th shot of the match, Mkhitaryan doubled his side's lead by slotting home a low cross from Ilkay Gundogan in the 79th minute.
The composed finish brought an end to Mkhitaryan's horrific scoring drought and marked his first goal of the season.
45 - With his 45th shot this BL season Henrikh #Mkhitaryan scores his first goal. Relief. #BVBS04 @BVB
