# Bellingham's Shots Record Against Borussia Dortmund: Notable Performances Analyzed
Erling Haaland has been a force to reckon with on the European stage, but it was another Norwegian, Mohamed Elyounoussi, who once stood tall against Borussia Dortmund. Elyounoussi’s impressive shots record against the German giants showcases the competitive spirit of Bellingham's homeland. Let's delve into some of the notable performances from Bellingham’s fellow countrymen.
## 1. Mohamed Elyounoussi's 2020 Showdown
Elyounoussi’s first encounter with Borussia Dortmund came in a UEFA Europa League match in 2020. The Southampton forward managed to fire three shots in the match, one of which was on target. Although the Saints were defeated 2-1 by Dortmund, Elyounoussi's performance was a testament to his skill and determination.
## 2. Ola Toivonen's 2013-14 Campaign
Another notable performance came from Ola Toivonen, who played for Swansea City during the 2013-14 season. The Swedish striker was instrumental in their Europa League campaign against Dortmund. Over two legs, Toivonen fired five shots, scoring once and assisting once. This was a significant contribution to Swansea’s elimination of the Bundesliga outfit.
## 3. John Carew's 2004 European Campaign
The Norwegian legend John Carew had a memorable encounter with Borussia Dortmund in the 2004 UEFA Champions League. Playing for Tottenham Hotspur, Carew fired five shots in total, including two on target. His performances were a key factor in Spurs’ run to the semi-finals, where they faced eventual champions Liverpool.
## 4. Håkon Opdal's 2002-03 Season
Håkon Opdal, who played for Rosenborg BK, also made his mark against Dortmund in the 2002-03 UEFA Cup. The Norwegian midfielder managed to fire four shots in the two-legged tie, which included a crucial goal that helped Rosenborg advance to the next round.
These performances highlight the competitive nature of Norwegian footballers when facing top European sides like Borussia Dortmund. With the likes of Haaland currently terrorizing defences across Europe, it's only a matter of time before another Bellingham-style talent emerges from the Norwegian footballing ranks.
