Eintracht Frankfurt 2 Borussia Dortmund 1: Substitute Seferovic stuns Tuchel's men

Substitute Haris Seferovic scored a late winner as Eintracht Frankfurt stunned Borussia Dortmund with a 2-1 home Bundesliga victory that takes them up to third in the table.

After a quiet first half, Szabolcs Huszti scored just 20 seconds into the second period to rock the visitors.

Thomas Tuchel made a triple change in a bid to turn the game around - including giving Marco Reus his first league appearance since May – and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang headed in his 13th league goal of the season to seemingly salvage a point.

But Frankfurt's Seferovic amazingly restored his side's lead just 65 seconds later and that goal proved decisive after Ousmane Dembele struck the crossbar in stoppage-time.

But they now sit nine points behind shock leaders RB Leipzig and slip down to sixth in the table, with their away form proving particularly problematic – they only have two victories from six games on the road.

Aubameyang threatened again, almost scoring a spectacular opener when he latched on to Adrian Ramos' flick and brilliantly beat defender David Abraham with some individual skill before firing narrowly wide.

But Frankfurt made an astonishing swift response, with Weidenfeller unable to keep out Seferovic's left-footed strike after Huszti had set him up.

There was almost a final twist in the tale but Demble's brilliant last-gasp effort rebounded to safety off the crossbar before Aubameyang had a strong penalty claim turned down moments later, infuriating Dortmund's players as the hosts celebrated a famous triumph.
