Werder Bremen produced an early contender for comeback of the season after scoring THREE times in six minutes to sink Borussia Dortmund.
Edin Terzic's side were 2-0 up and flying at Signal Iduna Park thanks to goals from Julian Brandt and Raphael Guerrero, the latter looking like he might just have confirmed the victory when he struck in the 77th minute.
