Mats Hummels rivals Romelu Lukaku with delicious outside-of-the-boot assist

Humdinger...

Plenty of us have spent the last 12 hours fawning over Romelu Lukaku’s assist for Arouna Kone, and rightly so.

But Borussia Dortmund’s Mats Hummels provided a near carbon copy in a 3-1 win over Werder Bremen that kept Thomas Tuchel’s side within five points of league leaders Bayern Munich.

Perhaps Lukaku’s was slightly more impressive, given that Kone had less work to do than Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but we need to remember that Hummels is a centre-back.

Not only are the Germans scoring freely, but they’re scoring great goals too.
