UEFA Europa League Review: Mkhitaryan rescues Dortmund, Rodriguez earns draw

Henrikh Mkhitaryan's late winner completed an incredible turn-around as Borussia Dortmund came from three-goals down to beat Odd 4-3 in Norway.

Tippeligaen outfit Odd, in Europe for the first time since 2004, took the lead after just 14 seconds through Jone Samuelsen.

However, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's double either side of Shinji Kagawa's strike levelled proceedings for Dortmund, who hit the woodwork four times, before Mkhitaryan headed in their fourth with seven minutes remaining.

The Netherlands international came off the bench with just ten minutes to go, and sealed a 1-0 win for the Turkish giants with a well-placed header from Caner Erkin's cross.

Arkadiusz Milik's penalty was enough to give former winners Ajax a 1-0 win over Jablonec, with Norwegian champions Molde beating Standard Liege 2-0 at home.

There were 1-0 wins for Legia Warsaw, Belenenses and Liberec against Zorya, Altach and Hajduk Split, while Panathinaikos' trip to Qabala finished goalless.
