WERDER BREMEN scored three times in the final five minutes to come from two goals down and snatch a stunning 3-2 victory at Borussia Dortmund.

Lee Buchanan sparked an unlikely comeback with his 89th minute strike before Niklas Schmidt equalised in stoppage time.
There was more drama to come as seconds later former Sheffield United and West Brom star Oliver Burke fired in the winner just before the final whistle.
