Borussia Dortmund beat Hamburg 3-2 in the Bundesliga on Saturday after a spectacular second-half comeback spearheaded by supersub Ramy Bensebaini.
The Algerian netted two penalties on either side of a goal from Serhou Guirassy to turn the tie around and hand the BVB a third consecutive top-flight win.
Philip Otele fired Die Rothosen in front after 19 minutes into the kick-off before Albert Sambi Lokonga doubled their advantage in the 38th minute as Dortmund trailed 2-0 at the break.
Up until the 70th minute, a defeat seemed imminent for the Black and Yellows until they won a penalty which Bensebaini converted. Just five minutes later Guirassy also got on target to pull Dortmund level.
Soon enough, the hosts won another penalty which Bensebaini once again stood over and dispatched with ease as Niko Kovac's side completed the comeback.
They moved up to 61 points from 27 games and tightened their grip in second place of the Bundesliga standings while Hamburg remained in 11th with 30. Here are the player ratings for Dortmund:
Gregor Kobel - 6: Was beaten twice in the opening stanza but got back into his element after the interval
Luca Reggiani - 5: Had a nightmare opening half that prompted Kovac to take him off at th break
Waldemar Anton - 6.5: Adept at winning back possession and passed the ball around with unerring accuracy
Nico Schlotterbeck: 6.5: Kept biting at the heels of Hamburg defenders and demonstrated his aerial prowess too
Julian Ryerson - 7.5: The Norwegian ace was at his creative best again, laying four key passes
Marcel Sabitzer - 5.5: Not at his usual best on the night
Jobe Bellingham - 7: Made six recoveries and completed 90% of his passes
Felix Nmecha - 6: An uncharacteristically wasteful display from Nmecha, who missed two big chances in the game
Daniel Svensson - 6.5: An electrifying display from the Swede, who laid seven crosses on the night to emerge as a dependable supplier of balls
Maximilian Beier - 7: Tested the Hamburg defense with a handful of shots, but also missed two chances to score that he would be kicking himself for
Karim Adeyemi - 6: A marginal figure in the opening stanza, lacking his usual attacking prowess and bite to carve Hamburg open
