Borussia Dortmund's Konstantinos Karetsas has just scored an absolute wowzer on his club debut against Arsenal, sending fans into a delirium.

The Greek international, who completed a €30 million transfer from Genk last week, was handed a starting berth today as head coach Niko Kovac looks to integrate him into the squad from the outset.

Just 29 minutes into his first match for the club, Karetsas curled a delightful ball into the far post after running almost half the pitch and catching Arsenal on the break.

The Dortmund midfielder came into possession in their own half and pranced down the pitch with the pace of a panther before cutting inside on his left and slotting it beyond Kepa Arrizabalaga for 2-0.

It was a goal straight out of the top drawer as BVB's new signing wasted no time in demonstrating his potential. Dortmund supporters were completely blown away, taking to X to make their feelings known.

Here are some of the best reactions to debutant Karetsas' first goal for Dortmund:

Borussia Dortmund's official handle put out this cool tweet:

""Konstantinos Karetsas has arrived. 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷""

One BVB fan wrote:

""What a screamer by Karetsas against Arsenal on his Borussia Dortmund debut!""

Another supporter praised Nils-Ole Book for this signing as he wrote:

""I've seen Kostas Karetsas in the BVB jersey for 30 minutes, and I can already say that, from a footballing and technical perspective, this is the best transfer in years. Many thanks to our "2. Liga Director" Ole Book. The man in charge has given us something we didn't have.""

One X user made an emphatic claim:

""Give Genk another 30M, what kind of sick player is Karetsas, please? Wow!!!!!!""

Another X user praised Karetsas' finish:

""Goal Dortmund, 2-0. Karetsas with a lovely finish.""

One more Dortmund fan was in awe of the Greek starlet:

""Karetsas is pure football!""

Another fan couldn't believe what a player Karetsas is turning out to be:

""Karetsas is so good it’s stupid 🇬🇷😂""

BBC Reporter Alex Howell was astounded by the goal too:

""What a strike from Karetsas! Calafiori loses the ball and the winger drives forward and curls it into the top corner. 2-0 Dortmund""

His words were echoed by another journalist, who tweeted:

""Stunning goal from Karetsas. Wow.""

One fan drew an interesting comparison between Karetsas and former star Julian Brandt:

""Brandt has never moved the way Karetsas is moving lollll""
