Jude Bellingham produced an inspired individual performance as he scored one goal and set up the other to help Borussia Dortmund to a 2-1 win at Besiktas in their Champions League Group C opener on Wednesday.
The 18-year-old England midfielder fired the visitors ahead with a fine finish in the 20th minute and left his marker flat-footed to set up striker Erling Haaland for the second on the stroke of half-time.
Centre back Francisco Montero pulled one back for the home side deep into stoppage time.
Besiktas dominated the opening stages as Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel tipped over a Michy Batshuayi shot but his opposite number Ersin Destanoglu was the busier of the two for the rest of the contest.
Dortmund took the lead when Bellingham capped a classy move with a clinical first-time shot through the keeper’s legs after Thomas Meunier volleyed a long cross-field pass into the youngster's stride.
Haaland then missed a sitter before Bellingham produced another moment of breathtaking skill to feed Haaland who was left with a simple task of tapping it into an empty net from six metres.
