Borussia Dortmund conceded three late goals and lost 2-3 to Werder Bremen on Saturday during the third game week of Bundesliga.
The comeback started when defender Lee Buchanan scored in the 89th for the newly-promoted side. Two minutes later Niklas Schmidt equalized. Scottish forward Oliver Burke scored the winning goal in the fifth minute of injury time to steal all three points.
Dortmund was on course to a comfortable 2-0 win after Julian Brandt and Raphaël Guerreiro found the back of the net.
But despite conceding two goals, Bremen remained the better side and continued with its attack. It was able to complete the turnaround thanks to indecisive defending by Borussia Dortmund,.
