USA international Christian Pulisic came off the bench to score two and create another as Borussia Dortmund came from behind to beat Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool in Charlotte, North Carolina on Sunday.

Liverpool 1-3 Borussia Dortmund

Goals: 1-0 van Dijk (25'), 1-1 Pulisic (pen. 66'), 1-2 Pulisic (89'), 1-3 Bruun Larsen (90+3')

Dortmund had the first sight of goal within minutes of kick-off as Maximilian Philipp tried to capitalise on a sloppy clearance from Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius, who had charged out of his penalty area to intercept a through-ball, but hit first-time shot from 45 yards out trickled just wide. The intense heat made for a slow-paced game initially, until Virgil van Dijk powered in a header from a corner midway through the half. That swung momentum firmly with Klopp's side, but despite getting forward well thee were unable to add to their lead before the break.

Sheyi Ojo hit the crossbar early in the second period as Liverpool threatened to pull away, but Dortmund soon muscled their way back into the game. Pulisic, one of a number of substitutes brought on at the interval, was fouled in the box by James Milner and dusted himself off to smash in the ensuing penalty. The match appeared to be heading for a draw until Marcel Schmelzer darted down the left in the final minute before squaring to Pulisic, who made no mistake with a low shot from the edge of the area. Jacob Bruun Larsen added a third in stoppage time, tapping in the rebound after Pulisic's shot had been saved to give Dortmund their second win in as many outings on their Stateside trip.
