Nice break! Adeyemi sends Dortmund into the lead after a breakaway across half the pitch

Borussia Dortmund has a patent for scouting young talents, turning them into world-class footballers and selling them at a huge profit. Karim Adeyemi is the next in line, with a goal against Chelsea he proved it again.

Borussia Dortmund’s match with Chelsea offered a very interesting spectacle. A clash between Borussia in great form and the Blues loaded with expensive reinforcements.

Dortmund are in tremendous form after the winter break, having won all 6 games. Chelsea can only dream about that, they have won only one of their last eight games.

The first half offered a bit of everything. At times the game was up and down, then for a long time the play was constantly interrupted. But both teams had their chances, like João Félix hitting the crossbar.

In the second half, we got a goal. And it came from the extremely active Karim Adeyemi, who showed his potential.

Chelsea had a pretty solid chance after the corner, but they didn’t convert. And as the famous football rule goes. Guerreiro, perhaps out of necessity, perhaps purposefully over his head, cleared the ball out of the box, which Adeyemi found in his own half.

With a great first touch, he worked it on the run and raced one-on-one against Enzo Fernandez. Just before the whitewash, Adeyemi flicked the ball past the most expensive player in Premier League history and gracefully sprinted it over. He also evaded the onrushing Arrizabalaga and cleared into an empty net.

The fantastic break confirmed Adeyemi’s good form. The 21-year-old talent has a 2+1 record in his last four games and showed why Dortmund brought him from Salzburg in the summer.

Yet he remained well behind expectations in the autumn, failing to score a single point in the Bundesliga. Even so, he went to the World Cup with Germany, where he seems to have gained confidence, which he is now capitalising on.
