The American and English youngsters were key as Dortmund ended their four-game winless run in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Jude Bellingham and Gio Reyna were the standout performers as Borussia Dortmund ran rampant against Stuttgart on Saturday.
Bellingham was the brains of the operation as he engineered his side's first Bundesliga win in five games. The England international struck twice for Edin Terzic's team and was involved throughout the match in a performance that will only enhance his status as one of his generation's brightest prospects.
Reyna, meanwhile, chipped in with a goal to break his scoring drought of 421 days. Not only that, the United States star impressed with his good use of the ball and sharp decision making.
The victory keeps Dortmund in the mix for a European place and just three points behind reigning champions Bayern Munich.

Jude Bellingham
The young star continues to shine. Bellingham showed once again what makes him such a standout among his generation. Tough and attentive in duels and sharp in attack with two goals against Stuttgart. His second was particularly impressive – a perfectly placed shot and a must see.

Karim Adeyemi:
Dortmund struck five times on home soil in this game but the summer signing was hardly involved. He failed to get any of the goals or an assist as his side ran rampant and was substituted midway through the second half.
Getty ImagesBorussia Dortmund ratings: Defence
Gregor Kobel (6/10):
He was barely called upon as Stuttgart were unable to build any strong attacks. Intercepted a few crosses confidently, otherwise was busy celebrating the goals.
Niklas Sule(9/10):
Utilised at right-back once again, the defender helped out with the first goal, scored the second and was defensively more stable than Thomas Meunier has been recently. He helped out in building attacks as many came from his side.
Nico Schlotterbeck (6/10):
As always trying to boost the Dortmund attacks from behind. Played a lot of vertical passes, but not always successfully. Had a couple of dodgy moments but this time went unpunished.
Mats Hummels (7/10):
A stable performance from the veteran defender overall. He was once again an important reference point for his side, even though he didn't always look good when Stuttgart managed to get behind the Dortmund back line.
Raphael Guerreiro (7/10):
A few weak moments defensively but the left-back was good with the ball and an important driver for Dortmund. He had some good actions in the second half especially.
Getty ImagesMidfield and attack
Salih Ozcan (6/10):
Often on his own defensively and stuck patrolling large areas, the Turkey international was too late to many battles in midfield and lost out, but he did win a few balls.
Jude Bellingham (9/10):
Another special performance from the Englishman. He initiated his first goal all on his own and was involved in almost everything Dortmund did. It was a symbolic performance as he was the lynchpin of the team and topped it off with a beautiful second strike to make it 4-0.
Julian Brandt (7/10):
One of the most active players next to Bellingham, but not quite as consistently sound as the younger midfielder. Had some good combinations and was good at pressing but lost a few too many balls.
Karim Adeyemi (5/10): Another disappointing performance from the 20-year-old. He put his team at risk defensively by losing so many of his duels and didn't have many positive moments in attack, either.
Giovanni Reyna (8/10): Not a man who makes many big highlights, but someone who impresses with his consistency. Often with the right decision, rarely losing the ball and chipped in with an excellent goal – his first in 421 days.
Youssoufa Moukoko (8/10): Inconspicuous for a long time and with few ball contacts until his strong positioning allowed him to set up Reyna for the third goal. Rewarded himself with his goal to make it 5-0.
