BERLIN: Borussia Moenchengladbach routed Union Berlin 4-1 on Sunday behind closed doors with French striker Marcus Thuram scoring twice and taking a knee in protest at the death of an unarmed black man in the United States.
George Floyd, 46, died in Minneapolis in an arrest by a police officer who pinned him to the ground for several minutes by kneeling on his neck. On Sunday, Alassane Plea grabbed a goal of his own for Gladbach, having set up Thuram's first, when he fired home off his left foot on 81 minutes to beat Union goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz.
It lifted them to third in the table, but RB Leipzig can take their place if they win at Cologne on Monday.
