WATCH: Borussia Dortmund bring a whole new meaning to the term “deadly counter attack”

12 seconds from corner flag to goal

Darragh Murphy

“Don’t try to score on Dortmund, it will only make them angry.”

Werder Bremen found that out the hard way when they pressed for an equaliser before half-time during today’s final round of Bundesliga fixtures.

Bremen lost possession and it took less than fifteen seconds for Jurgen Klopp’s men to sprint up the pitch, pull off some wonderful skill and a picture-perfect pass before Henrik Mkhitaryan beautifully chipped over Koe Casteels to give Dortmund a two goal cushion.

The third goal proved crucial as Werder Bremen did pull a late goal back via Selassie but Dortmund held on to the lead to give their manager the send-off that he deserves.
