Dortmund's collapse not the only poor show at the Westfalenstadion
He may have scored the opener but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could not prevent his side from slipping to defeat against Tottenham. It confirmed the German club's exit from the Champions League but perhaps more shocking was Aubameyang's black and gold hairdo.

Ben Yedder confused trolling
Liverpool's collapse from 3-0 up at Sevilla to draw 3-3 enticed Wissam Ben Yedder on to Twitter to revel in the result.
Although the Sevilla man decided to reference Liverpool's Champions League final comeback win over AC Milan to do so. Very odd.
Hope @acmilan watched it ���� pic.twitter.com/EbkaA5GGBy
