"Deniz Undav inspired Stuttgart as his hat-trick secured a dramatic 3-3 draw away to Borussia Dortmund in Saturday's Bundesliga clash at Signal Iduna Park. The Stuttgart forward completed his treble in the 91st minute, dragging the visitors level after substitute Karim Adeyemi thought he had won it for Dortmund with a strike just two minutes earlier. Niko Kovac would have earlier expected his side to run out as winners, regardless of Adeyemi's late finish, given Dortmund headed into half-time with a 2-0 lead."
"Undav has now scored at least twice in two consecutive Bundesliga matches for the first time in his career, though he may have always fancied his chances here. The Stuttgart captain has scored six times against Dortmund in the league, more than he has managed against any other Bundesliga opponent. His three strikes came from an expected goals (xG) tally of just 0.9, however, showing how deadly the Germany international was in front of Dortmund's goal."
Deniz Undav completed a hat-trick with a 91st-minute equaliser as Stuttgart drew 3-3 at Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund led 2-0 at half-time through an Emre Can penalty and Maximilian Beier's close-range finish. Stuttgart rallied after the interval with goals created by Bilal El Khannouss and Maximilian Mittelstadt before Karim Adeyemi briefly restored Dortmund's lead. Undav's treble produced six goals against Dortmund in his career and came from an expected goals (xG) total of 0.9. Dortmund accumulated 2.91 xG compared to Stuttgart's 1.48, despite conceding the late draw.
