Christian Pulisic: Lucky goal was spark Borussia Dortmund needed

BOUNCING BACK Pulisic goal sparks Borussia win over Stuttgart

Christian Pulisic's goal kick-started Borussia Dortmund in a 3-0 victory over Stuttgart on Sunday, ahead of next week's mouth-watering derby at Schalke.

Pulisic, on the right side, unleashed an attempt from an odd angle that just got over the outstretched hand of Stuttgart goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler and tucked under the bar. The U.S. global also scored in Dortmund's August 19 league opener at Wolfsburg and on September 20 at Hamburg.

Reus' first act was to make an important intervention in defence as Stuttgart, seeking to prey on the wounds opened by Dortmund's mauling at Bayern, began the contest with three consecutive corners.

Pulisic might have made it 4-0 only to be denied by Zieler.

"In the beginning, they played man against man all around the field".

Pulisic, a fully-fledged United States global at just 19, gave Dortmund the lead against mid-table Stuttgart at a sun-soaked Signal Iduna Park.

"We had much more control in the second half, but you have to get over the hump".

Stuttgart arrived on an eight-match unbeaten run but have not won at Dortmund since 2007 and that continued as Michy Batshuayi doubled the lead three minutes after the restart with a neat finish after a one-two with Nuri Sahin for his ninth goal since joining the club on loan from Chelsea in January. Stuttgart made it very hard for us in the beginning, but we took over as the game went on.

"Now that we're out of the other competitions, it gives us a chance to train hard and really gives us a chance to prepare for the weekend and we were able to do that this week".

It was the slice of luck Dortmund needed to overcome a nervy start as they bounced back from last weekend's 6-0 hammering at Bayern Munich. 'But I'm looking forward to the game'.

The win moves Dortmund to within one point of second-placed Schalke following their surprise defeat at Hamburg on Saturday.
