Guinea forward Serhou Guirassy paid homage to Stuttgart legend Mario Gomez after scoring the winner in the game against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

"It is a goal for the record book. Serhou Guirassy scores his 24th goal of the season and thus equalizes the previous VfB record of Mario #Gomez from the 2008/2009 season. In addition, he scored the ninth goal to make it 1-0 this season – and is now the sole record holder in this category at Stuttgart vs Dortmund," wrote the Stuttgart on X, formerly Twitter.

Guirassy's 24 goals in 22 Bundesliga games has seen him lead Stuttgart's quest for a UEFA Champions League place finish, as they open a seven-point gap with fourth place RB Leipzig.

"Huge win in Dortmund. Big SIGNAL in the final sprint. Congrats to the team and thanks to the fans for the atmosphere," an excited Guirassy wrote on X after the game.

The 28-year-old joined Stuttgart last summer on a permanent deal from French outfit Stade Rennais, per Transfermarkt.
