Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi scored a main-half of hat-trick as final season’s losing finalists hammered Celtic 7-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday with five targets in the opening 42 minutes.
“A sore one, for particular. We had been punished with each mistake we made. Sooner than we knew it, we had been 5-1 down. A sobering evening,” Celtic captain Callum McGregor quick TNT Sports activities.
The 80,000 crowd started the celebrations early on the Westfalenstadion, with Emre Can scoring from the plight in the seventh minute after Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel up-ended Jamie Gittens and was once booked.
Celtic momentarily hushed the deafening Yellow Wall two minutes later when Daizen Maeda bundled in a contaminated from Arne Engels but Adeyemi restored the lead with a shot deflected in off Auston Trusty in the 11th.
The Germany winger made it 3-1 in the twenty ninth when he lashed the ball into the cease nook past the diving Schmeichel, then won a 39th minute penalty for Serhou Guirassy to tuck away earlier than finishing his hat-trick three minutes later.
Guirassy grabbed his 2nd of the evening in the 66th and 2nd-half of substitute Felix Nmecha done the rout in the 79th, with Celtic having Schmeichel to thank for conserving the sobering scoreline to seven.
The halftime shredding rewound Celtic’s purpose difference to zero after their 5-1 thrashing of debutants Slovan Bratislava of their opening match final month, and it only purchased worse.
