Borussia Dortmund 6-0 Wolfsburg: Jude Bellingham scores bizarre goal that sends the ball spinning into the net after initially being saved as Edin Terzic’s side come within one point of Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich
- Borussia Dortmund kept the title race alive with a 6-0 win over Wolfsburg
- Jude Bellingham and Karim Adeyemi both scored a brace in the win
- Edin Terzic’s team is now one point behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga
Borussia Dortmund annihilated unhappy VfL Wolfsburg 6-0 on Sunday, with two goals each from Karim Adeyemi and Jude Bellingham, to keep on the heels of Bundesliga leaders Bayern with three games remaining in the season.
Bellingham’s first goal was one of the most bizarre he will ever score.
He shot in from distance and it seemed that Koen Casteels had done well to keep it out, but the keeper could only watch as the ball looped over his box.
The ball hadn’t crossed the line when it bounced and appeared to move innocently off target, but the ball had taken on an unfortunate backspin. It changed direction and rolled gently into Wolfsburg’s net.
The goal came after the club from the Ruhr area fired three past the Wolves in the first half to take the wind out of their sails.

After the break, they added three more in a one-sided game that littered Wolfsburg with defensive errors.
Dortmund are now on 64 points, one behind Bayern’s 2-1 winner against Werder Bremen on Saturday.
In front of a sold-out crowd of over 81,000, the hosts took the lead after 14 minutes and Adeyemi headed high in his fifth goal of the season.
The Wolves should have leveled the score in the 20th minute as Patrick Wimmer had only keeper Gregor Kobel to beat, but his shot was blocked and Jonas Wind missed the target with his rebound.
Sebastian Haller was also on the scoresheet as Edin Terzic’s side came within one point of league leaders Bayern Munich
Karim Adeyemi also picked up a brace in an impressive win for Dortmund
Instead, it was Dortmund that struck again in the 28th as Adeyemi provided a perfect assist for Sebastien Haller to tap in.
Donyell Malen did the same with a Julian Brandt assist in the 37th and after the break the hosts picked up where they left off with Bellingham’s peculiar goal.
Wolfsburg’s disastrous defense continued, with another mispass allowing Adeyemi to slip in to make it 5–0 in the 59th. The Germany international could have earned his first hat-trick in the Bundesliga, but his penalty went over the crossbar in the 65th minute.
Bellingham ended Wolfsburg’s ordeal in the 86th.
