A beautiful solo effort by Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi helped the German side secure a slim 1-0 win over Chelsea in Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League game at the Signal Iduna Park.
Adeyemi latched on to a loose ball before dribbling past Enzo Fernandez and Kepa Arizabalaga to give the home side all three points ahead of the reverse fixture in two weeks time.
While Chelsea manager Graham Potter may still be working on how to get his squad of expensive newcomers to work as a team, the visitors’ individual quality and speed on the counter was obvious throughout.
Borussia Dortmund are also hoping to win the German Bundesliga many years after it last won it, but presently occupy the third position on the log with just three points seperating it and leaders Bayern Munich.
Chelsea on the other hand are not in the running to win the English Premier League as they presently occupy the 10th position on the log and are out of all domestic cup competitions.
The only hopes of the Blues winning a silverware this season is the UEFA Champions League and to achieve this result the 1-0 first leg loss to Dortmund must be upturned at the Stamford Bridge in two weeks time.
