Borussia Dortmund struck late to beat Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday with Serhou Guirassy firing an 88th-minute winner to earn them a 2-1 victory.
Coming into fixture on the back of four consecutive wins, Der BVB were heavy favorites to prevail again, especially considering their overwhelmingly good record against the Wolves.
Julian Brandt fired them in front after 38 minutes as Niko Kovac's side went into the break with a 1-0 lead, though it didn't last too long after the restart.
Die Wolfe returned from the break stronger and equalized seven minutes later as Konstantinos Koulierakis made it 1-1.
Thereon, the visitors huffed and puffed for a winner and it came through Guirassy with only three minutes of normal time remaining.
Here are the player ratings for Borussia Dortmund:
Gregor Kobel - 6.5: Didn't see much action at his end besides that equalizer
Niklas Sule - 7.5: Returned to XI and proved to be solid in defense; made 10 recoveries too
Waldemar Anton - 6.5: Demonstrated excellent vision to make five clearances and was strong in the air too
Nico Schlotterbeck - 8: Guarded his area with authority and never let Wolfsburg get a sniff of the goal from his side
Julian Ryerson - 7.5: The set-piece specialist extended his assist tally to five for the season with a clinical corner that Brandt headed home
Jobe Bellingham - 8: Kept biting at the heels of Wolfsburg defenders for possession; won seven of his eight ground duels and made six recoveries as well as four interceptions
Felix Nmecha - 7.5: Passed the ball around well and laid two key passes
Daniel Svensson - 7.5: Drove forward well to supply forwards with a range of inviting crosses and created a few chances too
Julian Brandt - 7.5: Fired the visitors on front with a well-placed header
Maximilian Beier - 6: Made a few attempts but most of them were blocked as the star lacked shot accuracy
Serhou Guirassy - 8: Just like in the last game, the Guinean international popped up with a late winner once again, highlighting his importance in the squad
