A short cry of delight and a jubilant hug: Henrikh Mkhitaryan had no time for extravagant celebrations after equalising for Borussia Dortmund away to FC Augsburg in Matchday 27's conclusion.

Instead, the Armenian was focused on winning the game. The visitors had been struggling to pull level after Alfred Finnbogason had given Augsburg a surprise lead, but eventually Mkhitaryan's guile unlocked a stubborn backline and created a wonderful equaliser just before half-time. It sparked a crucial comeback, with Die Schwarz-Gelben going on to triumph 3-1.

"He [Mkhitaryan] managed to take the game to the defence and create spaces that we were struggling to find beforehand," said Thomas Tuchel.
