Emre Can Scores Absolute Worldie On First Borussia Dortmund Start

Emre Can scored his first goal for the Borussia Dortmund and it was an absolute peach.

The German midfielder started his first game after joining on loan from Juventus until the end of the season and he made it a memorable one by bending in a gorgeous strike against former club Bayer Leverkusen.

Can, who has a history of scoring great goals, took a couple of touches to get the ball out of his foot and then, from 25 yards out, curled in an absolute beauty into the top, far corner.

The technique was just utterly outrageous.

Dortmund were 1-0 down in the 20th minute when Kevin Volland opened the scoring for the hosts, before Mats Hummels instantly replied with his first goal in his second spell with the club from a Jadon Sancho corner.

Can's screamer put Lucien Favre's side in the lead, only for Volland to notch a second and pull Leverkusen level going into half-time.

Dortmund regained the lead in the second half through Raphael Guerrero, who finished a superb, free-flowing team move.
