Daily Mail | December 12, 2020

Borussia Dortmund embarrassingly lost 5-1 to an excellent VfB Stuttgart in their Bundesliga match at the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors' strong start earned them a 26th-minute penalty when Emre Can felled Mateo Klimowicz and Silas Wamangituka sent keeper Roman Burki the wrong way with his spot kick.

With Stuttgart pushing for a second goal, the hosts - without top striker Erling Haaland through injury - struck against the run of play.

Stuttgart forward Silas Wamangituka opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the first half
