PSV 3-2 Shakhtar Donetsk: Tillman double inspires late comeback
PSV Eindhoven kept their hopes of reaching the knockout stages of the Champions League alive with a stunning victory over Shakhtar Donetsk.
Malik Tillman inspired a stunning late comeback to earn struggling PSV a vital 3-2 victory over 10-man Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday.
Tillman struck in the 87th minute and again just three minutes later before substitute Ricardo Pepi scored deep into second-half stoppage time to cap a remarkable comeback.
Danylo Sikan had handed Shakhtar the lead in the eighth minute, stretching to turn home Yukhym Konoplia's cross from the right beyond Walter Benitez.
Konoplia was again the architect for the visitors' second goal, slipping in Oleksandr Zubkov, who took his time before curling a left-footed strike into the bottom left-corner.
But the turning point in the contest came just before the 70th minute when Pedro Henrique was handed a straight red card for a tackle on Johan Bakayoko.
