Nigerian International and Bayer Leverkusen forward, Nathan Tella has won the Werkself January Goal of the Month for his brilliant strike in a 3-2 win against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
Nathan Tella’s breathtaking goal, his first in the Bundesliga this season, was a masterclass in precision and skill. The strike came early in the game against Borussia Dortmund when he got a header from Robert Andrich at the edge of the box, before unleashing a sublime first-time volley that soared into the net, leaving the opposition stunned.
Nathan Tella’s astonishing strike ignited a goal-scoring frenzy, with Patrick Schick quickly doubling the lead. However, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens rapidly responded with a goal, narrowing the gap within a thrilling first 15 minutes. Schick’s second goal re-established a comfortable advantage, and a late consolation goal from Serhou Guirassy proved insufficient for Dortmund to salvage a point.
The dramatic victory extended Bayer Leverkusen’s impressive winning streak to nine consecutive games across all competitions, a remarkable run that ultimately came to an end with a 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
