Füllkrug Denies Dortmund Victory in Dramatic Late Comeback

Borussia Dortmund suffered a painful setback in the Bundesliga, throwing away a crucial victory against Werder Bremen in a dramatic 2-2 draw. The Black and Yellows appeared to have the match under control and looked set to claim all three points after goals from Daniel Svensson and Nico Schlotterbeck put them in a commanding position. However, the visitors produced a remarkable late comeback to stun the hosts.
Werder Bremen refused to give up and reignited the contest in the 87th minute, when Lovro Majer pulled a goal back. The drama reached its peak in the second minute of stoppage time, as former Dortmund striker Niclas Füllkrug rose highest to meet a free-kick delivery and powered a header into the net, leaving the home supporters in disbelief.
