CHECK OUT THIS FIVE-GOAL-THRILLER FROM LAST NIGHT BETWEEN BORUSSIA DORTMUND VS BAYER LEVERKUSEN! WITH THE NEWS THAT FOUR OF BORUSSIA DORTMUND’S REGULAR BACK FOUR WERE OUT DUE TO ILLNESS, AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED BY LESS EXPERIENCED PLAYERS, IT CERTAINLY SEEMED TO PUT A ‘SPRING-IN-THE-STEP’ OF THE LEVERKUSEN SQUAD, WITH THEIR FIRST GOAL COMING IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS FROM NATHAN TELLA TO GET THE PARTY STARTED! THIS WAS FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTERWARDS BY ANOTHER GOAL FROM AN ON-FORM PATRIK SCHICK (THE FIRST GOAL OF WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE A BRACE), AND THEN IT WAS OVER TO BORUSSIA DORTMUND’S JAMIE GITTENS TO SCORE A BEAUT AT 12 MINS!

ALTHOUGH THE CORNER ITSELF WAS DEEMED TO BE CONTROVERSIAL, IT DOESN’T TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THE BRILLIANCE OF HIS GOAL. (SEE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE C...
