Erling Haaland's remarkable UEFA Champions League scoring record helped Borussia Dortmund to a comeback victory at Sevilla as the German club took a significant step towards a first quarter-final in four years.
In the round of 16 for the first time in three years, Sevilla were quickly out of the traps, Suso's strike deflecting in off Mats Hummels in the seventh minute. Dortmund needed some inspiration and found it via Mahmoud Dahoud's fine curling equaliser 12 minutes later, before Haaland took centre stage yet again.
Head up, team. We still have the second leg.

The Norwegian first exchanged passes with Jadon Sancho and beat goalkeeper Yassine Bounou to the return ball to give the visitors the lead, before Sevilla lost the ball in midfield and Marco Reus played in Haaland to slot under Bounou. It was his eighth goal in this season's competition and makes him the top scorer.

The home side pressed for a way back into the match throughout the second half, but an Óscar Rodríguez free-kick against the woodwork was all they could muster until the substitute's set piece from the left was volleyed in by another replacement, Luuk de Jong, to give Sevilla hope for the second leg.
