Undav undoes Dortmund work with dramatic hat-trick
Deniz Undav inspired Stuttgart as his hat-trick secured a dramatic 3-3 draw away to Borussia Dortmund in their Bundesliga clash at Signal Iduna Park.
The Stuttgart forward completed his treble in the 91st minute, dragging the visitors level after substitute Karim Adeyemi thought he had won it for Dortmund with a strike just two minutes earlier.
Niko Kovac would have earlier expected his side to run out a winner, regardless of Adeyemi's late finish, given Dortmund headed into half-time with a 2-0 lead.
Emre Can opened the scoring from the penalty spot just past the half-hour mark, after soon-to-be hero Undav's push on centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck.
Maximilian Beier then doubled the hosts' advantage soon after, pouncing from close range, but Stuttgart came out firing after the interval.
Bilal El Khannouss teed up Undav's first goal just two minutes into the second half, before the former Brighton and Hove Albion striker brought his side level after neat work from Maximilian Mittelstadt.
A hammer blow from Adeyemi seemed set to ruin Stuttgart's comeback, only for Undav to pop up late on and snatch a draw in thrilling fashion.
