Borussia Dortmund continue to be a production house for young talent after England U21 international Jamie Gittens once again scored on a European night.

Nuri Şahin's Die Schwarzgelben held a 1-0 lead at the break away from home to Dinamo Zagreb with a chance to finish the night in the top eight thanks to the sensational hit.

It goes down as his fourth goal of the tournament this season, and at his age, it puts him within a unique feat for an Englishman.

That strike means the young winger is close to equaling Alan Smith's five Champions League goals in a single season aged 21 or under during Leeds' memorable European run in 2000-01.

Gittens is now viewed as a key cog in the attacking wheel for Dortmund, and with a goal from the top shelf, its no wonder fans adore him.

Another young lion is roaring on the continent.
