Dortmund surge back from 2-0 down to beat Bochum 4-2

Serhou Guirassy scored twice to help Borussia Dortmund battle back from 2-0 down and beat winless Bochum 4-2 at home on Friday, sparing more blushes for coach Nuri Şahin.

Dortmund were thumped 5-1 at VfB Stuttgart last weekend having started the season well and it looked like the coach would be under real pressure after a woeful first 40 minutes.

Bochum, who picked up their first point of the season in last weekend's 2-2 draw with promoted Holstein Kiel, took a shock lead when a simple one-two released Matúš Bero and his fierce left-foot shot flew in at Gregor Kobel's near post.

It got far worse for Kobel on 21 minutes when he was pressured by Myron Boadu after a back pass and kicked the ball straight to Dani de Wit, who could not miss.

Big close-season signing Guirassy cut the deficit with a header just before the break after Julian Brandt had been given to much time to cross.

Guinea striker Guirassy had opened his Bundesliga account for Dortmund last weekend in the painful defeat at his former club Stuttgart.

Dortmund, who host Celtic in the Champions League on Tuesday having won their opener at Club Brugge, levelled on the hour after Guirassy was felled in the box and Emre Can converted the penalty.

The hosts found a winner on 75 minutes when Guirassy latched on to Karim Adeyemi's perfectly-weighted pass.

Substitute Felix Nmecha settled matters when keeper Patrick Drewes allowed his effort to squirm over the line.

The big game of the Bundesliga weekend is on Saturday when unbeaten leaders Bayern Munich host champions Bayer Leverkusen in an early season blockbuster.
