Mats Hummels continues to break down centre-back stereotypes.

Borussia Dortmund defeated Swiss outfit Luzern 4-1 in their pre-season friendly on Tuesday, and there’s no question over who had the pick of the goals.

Dortmund centre-back Mats Hummels cropped up with a moment of pure magic to make it 3-0 to the good. The cultured defender picked the ball up on the edge of the box and rocketed the ball into the back of the net with a perfectly executed half volley.

Goals may be a rare enough occurrence for Hummels, but mesmerising the masses with his supreme talent has become a regular part of his game.
