Borussia Dortmund Troll Premier League Fans After Adeyemi Scored Against Chelsea

• Chelsea went to Germany and returned empty-handed after losing 1-0 to Borussia Dortmund
• The game clashed with the Premier League top-of-the-table clash between Arsenal and Manchester City
• Nigerian-German forward Karim Adeyemi scored the only goal of the match to beat the 2021 winners

Chelsea's woes under Graham Potter continued after their 1-0 defeat to German opposition Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie at the Signal Iduna Park.

Karim Adeyemi proved the difference maker after outpacing Enzo Fernandez and beating Kepa Arrizabalaga through a counterattack after the Blues overcommitted for a corner kick in the second half.

The game kicked off 30 minutes after the crucial Premier League match between Manchester City and Arsenal, which understandably got more attention than the Champions League game.

Why UEFA allowed City Arsenal game

Sports Brief earlier reported that UEFA allowed the City Arsenal game to go ahead despite a rule prohibiting it because a previous UEFA scheduling forced a postponement.

The game was initially postponed due to the queen's death which forced the cancellation of Premier League games. A new date was prevented as Europe's ruling body fixed Arsenal's Europa League match on the day.

Adeyemi reveals secret behind speed

Sports Brief also reported that Dortmund goal scorer Karim Adeyemi revealed the secret behind his speed after the game, putting it on the African foods he eats and also the strong genes from his father.
