Gladbach exploit VfL weaknesses

Five days after the 2-2 draw at home to Werder Bremen, VfL Wolfsburg slipped to their fifth consecutive away defeat on Friday evening, losing 4-0 at Borussia Mönchengladbach. Tomas Cvancara converted the home side’s first clear-cut opportunity in the 16th minute before Rocco Reitz doubled their advantage three minutes before half-time.

The Green-and-Whites were more ambitious after the restart, but Gladbach were ruthless in front of goal and added to their lead through Franck Honorat (64’) and Alassane Plea (71’).
