Gittens nets a sparkling pair for Dortmund

English winger Jamie Gittens (above) came off the bench to score twice in the final 15 minutes to seal Borussia Dortmund a 3-0 win at Club Brugge in their Champions League opener on Wednesday.

Last year's finalists, who lost to Real Madrid at Wembley in June, got off to a fast start in the newlook league stage.

New Dortmund coach Nuri Sahin brought Gittens on as a substitute with 22 minutes remaining and the game goalless.

The 20-year-old scored shortly after, his right-foot shot looping over the head of Club Brugge goalkeeper Simon Mignolet with the aid of a deflection.

Again coming off the left flank, Gittens blasted a low shot into the net to score his second with four minutes remaining, snuffing out Brugge's chance of a comeback.
