Karim Adeyemi's solitary strike was the difference between Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea on Wednesday evening.

The German starlet raced past Enzo Fernandez before going round Kepa Arrizabalaga to find the back of the net.

A superb length-of-the-field goal from Dortmund forward, Adeyemi gave his side the win over Chelsea at home in their last 16 Champions League clash on Wednesday.

The forward's goal came during a period of sustained dominance from the visitors early in the second half, when he pounced on a clearance from the Blues' corner.

Adeyemi sensed the opportunity and ran the length of the field, rounding Fernandez and Kepa to give the Bundesliga team the crucial lead which took them to victory.

Adeyemi falls in celebration

Sports Brief also reported on Borussia Dortmund's Adeyemi becoming popular for his involvement in the team's celebration, for all the wrong reasons.

The 21-year-old hilariously tried to jump onto the back of a few teammates during the goal celebrations against SC Freiburg but toppled over the other side.

He could then be seen gingerly getting up and rejoining his teammates. The incident happened after Sebastian Haller scored the German side's third goal.
