Deniz Undav scored a brace as a rampant Stuttgart put on a spectacular display to stun Borussia Dortmund 5-1 on Sunday.
Nuri Sahin s Dortmund side went into the clash unbeaten in the Bundesliga this season, but that run was emphatically ended.
Undav got Stuttgart off to a flying start inside five minutes at the MHP Arena when the forward found Maximilian Mittelstadt s pass, stormed into the box and fired into the far bottom corner.
Last season s runners-up tore apart the shocked visitors defence, with Mittelstadt providing Ermedin Demirovic with a chipped cross to head home and double Stuttgart s lead in the 21st minute.
2 On his 180th appearance, Stuttgart s Maximilian Mittelstädt assisted twice in the same Bundesliga match for the first time. Against no other team did he set up more top-flight goals than against Borussia Dortmund. Faithful.

After Enzo Millot added a third for the hosts, former Stuttgart man Serhou Guirassy reduced Dortmund s deficit with a goal in the 72nd minute.
But substitute El Bilal Toure and Undav made matters worse as they added another goal each to Stuttgart s tally.
Dortmund sit eighth in the Bundesliga with seven points from four matches, while Stuttgart are sixth with the same points but a better goal difference.
