What happened. Felix Nmecha came off the bench to score a second-half brace as Borussia Dortmund beat newly-promoted Paderborn 3-0 at home. His second, Dortmund's third, was an 89th-minute overhead kick from a Marcel Sabitzer cross.

• Nmecha made it 2-0 with 10 minutes to play before adding his acrobatic third.
• The overhead kick came in the 89th minute from a Sabitzer cross on the right.
• It was his first two goals of the season after starting on the bench.

“I saw it in my mind. I saw it working – and it did, which I'm very happy about.”

— Felix Nmecha

The strike is already an early contender for goal of the season and caps a strong response from the bench.
