European roundup: Werder Bremen’s late show leaves Dortmund rocked

Werder Bremen scored three times in the final minutes to come from two goals down and snatch a stunning 3-2 Bundesliga victory at Borussia Dortmund that ended the hosts’ winning start to the season. Goals from Lee Buchanan in the 89th minute and Niklas Schmidt in stoppage time brought them level before Oliver Burke thundered a shot in the final seconds past keeper Gregor Kobel.

Dortmund’s Julian Brandt had fired a blinder past Werder keeper Jiri Pavlenka in first-half stoppage time to take an unexpected lead after a dire 45 minutes for the hosts where nothing seemed to work.

They were caught out again when Raphaël Guerreiro tried his luck from 25 metres out and beat Pavlenka with a low shot in the 77th minute. The visitors, however, refused to give up and scored what might have been a consolation goal through England youth international Buchanan’s superb strike into the top corner in the 89th.
