Ending a rather worrysonme four-game drought, Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy is finally back among the goals today.

The Guinean international converted a lovely free-kick from Julian Ryerson by connecting with it inside the box with a simple finish for 2-2.

Having struggled to find that killer pass, Guirassy came close a few times in the match but the move fizzled out before he could make a shot.

The 30-year-old striker is back in the lineup today after starting consecutive games from the bench and it seems like he's vindicated Niko Kovac's decision.

Indeed, it was turning out to be a frustrating outing for Dortmund's prolific marksman, who didn't see much of the ball during the initial exchanges and being heavily marked by Roma's defenders.

But when a clear-cut opportunity presented itself, he converted it and brought the BVB level after having fallen 2-0 behind inside the opening 10 minutes of the match.

Although it's just preseason and his goals count for nothing, seeing Guirassy get on target is always something to cheer for the fans as he's shaping up nicely for next week's crunch showdown with Bayern Munich.

As the clubs head into the break on level terms at 2-2 and keeping the tie finely poised, here's how fans reacted to Guirassy scoring again:

One X user drew an interesting comparison between Guirassy and a certain Chelsea legend:

""Guirassy looks like Drogba today.""

One user praised the Guinean's devastating finishing skill:

""Serhou Guirassy should be viewed as one of the best strikers in Europe he’s physically imposing he’s good in the air he’s good with off the ball movement he’s good finisher""

This user was happy to see Guirassy link-up with his favorite creator:

""Duo Guirassy and Ryerson is back…""

Another fan excited to see Guirassy score:

""Guirassy!!! He equalizes the match right now at Signal Iduna Park.
Borussia Dortmund 2-2 Roma.""

This X user aptly labeled Guirassy a 'beast':

""Guirassy is an absolute beast in yellow and black at Signal Iduna Park.""

Another fan joyously tweeted:

""GUIRASSY WE ARE BACK!!""

One X user wrote:

""Guirassy equalizes in the 27th minute off a set piece taken by Ryerson, with Roma's back line caught napping—it's 2-2.""

This fan made an emphatic claim about Guirassy:

""Guirassy never disappoints, he pays!!!!""

One curious viewer noticed this about Guirassy's game today:

""Guirassy's got noticeably more fight in him again, but he really needs to stop falling over at every little nudge to win those balls... #BVB #Saisoneröffnung #BVBASR""
