Football news - Borussia Dortmund win as Haaland's last gasp winner breaks Dusseldorf's hearts

Borussia Dortmund kept their slim title hopes alive as Erling Haaland's stoppage time winner denied Fortuna Dusseldorf a point in their survival bid.

Dortmund, who named goal machine Haaland on the bench after he recovered from injury, struggled to break down a defensive Fortuna side in a tepid first half which had all the tempo and excitement of a bad pre-season friendly.

Achraf Hakimi had the best chance from a counter attack but wasted his opportunity while Julian Brandt spurned a couple of chances. Uwe Rosler's side were solid at the back but offered little going forward with top-scorer Rouwen Hennings also on the bench.

Haaland, who had one goal in his previous six games, eventually came on and played a part in Raphael Guerreiro's disallowed goal. His blocked shot fell to the Portuguese midfielder who hammered a volley past the keeper but it was disallowed by VAR after the ball appeared to skim off his upper arm in the build-up.

Lucien Favre also brought on Giovanni Reyna in the closing stages but Dortmund remained unrecognisable in the final third.

Fortuna finished the game stronger with substitute Steven Skrzybski hitting the post twice late on, but Haaland came off the bench to rescue his side with the last kick of the game, heading in Manuel Akanji's cross for his 11th league goal in 12 games.

The result means Favre's side remain second, four points behind Bayern, while Fortuna remain in the relegation playoff place.

This was a must win game for Dortmund who were seven points behind Bayern Munich before the game. They could not afford another slip up yet their best goal scorer remained among the subs for so long.

With five substitutions at his disposal, Favre stuck with the same line-up for an hour despite it clearly not working against a defensively organised side. Haaland's heroics spared his side's blushes in a game they did not deserve to win.

Kaan Ayhan (Fortuna Dusseldorf): The home side were defensively solid for 94 minutes and managed to nullify Dortmund's pace and threat. Ahyan was at the centre of that, organising the defence and was solid in the air. His side were unlucky to come away with nothing.

FORTUNA DUSSELDORF: Kastenmeier 6, Hoffmann 6, Ayhan 8, Berisha 5, Karaman 7, Thommy 6, Stoger 5, Giesselmann 5, Zimmermann 6, Suttner 5, Sobottka 5. Subs: Skrzybski n/a, Morales n/a, Zimmer n/a, Hennings n/a.

BORUSSIA DORTMUND: Burki 6, Piszczek 6, Hummels 6, Akanji 6, Hakimi 5, Can 5, Witsel 4, Guerreiro 5, Brandt 5, Sancho 4, Hazard 3. Subs: Haaland 8, Reyna n/a.

65' GOOD SAVE! A snap shot from Sobottka well kept out by Burki, Thommy had been appealing for a free-kick.

67' - DISALLOWED GOAL FOR DORTMUND! Haaland's shot is blocked and Guerreiro volleys it with power past the keeper. Great finish!

82' - WOODWORK! A low shot from distance from Skrzybski hits the post.

90' - SO CLOSE! Skrzybski runs onto a ball over the top and hammers it narrowly wide of goal.

90'+5 - GOAL FOR DORTMUND! Haaland has flicked in a header into the corner in the last minute after Akanji's cross!
