Dortmund 1-0 Chelsea: Karim Adeyemi stuns world with epic 70-yard run and finish | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund triumphed 1-0 over Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie on Wednesday evening.

A stunning solo strike from 21-year-old Karim Adeyemi proved the difference on the night with little else to separate the two sides.

But what a goal it was...

Having picked the ball up on pretty much the edge of his own penalty area, Adeyemi then went on a marauding run that covered the entire length of the pitch before rounding the goalkeeper and slotting it home.

He left Chelsea's new mega-money signing, Enzo Ferndandez, trailing in his wake and a baffled Kepa Arrizabalaga wondering what on earth had gone on.

WATCH: Adeyemi scores after mesmeric 70-yard run

Simply incredible. The goal was enough to down Chelsea in the game, who are in desperate need of progressing to the next phase of the competition after enduring a dismal Premier League season by their standards to date.

Graham Potter is still relatively fresh in the job and the pressure is already beginning to build on the Englishman following his poor start at the helm.

He'll get the chance to overturn the poor result on March 7, when the Blues will welcome Dortmund to Stamford Bridge for the second leg of the tie.
