Haaland leaves it late to help Dortmund down Hoffenheim

Borussia Dortmund beat Hoffenheim in a five-goal thriller – with all three of their goalscorers born in England – midfielder Jude Bellingham, set up Sunderland-born Giovanni Reyna for the opener before hammering his own goal for Dortmund’s second goal.

Christoph Baumgartner had made it 1-1 before 18-year-old Bellingham hammered in from the edge of the box for a 2-1 Dortmund lead, which was cancelled out, once again, by Munas Dabbur in the 90th minute for Hoffenheim but Erling Braut Haaland blasted in an injury-time winner.

Haaland, who was born in Leeds, plays for Norway and Reyna is a USA international, with both born in England while their fathers played in the Premier League. Claudio Reyna had two years at Sunderland, while Alf-Inge Haaland played for Nottingham Forest and Leeds – and both had spells at Manchester City.

Reyna’s goal for Dortmund came on the day he became the youngest player to feature in 50 Bundesliga games.
