In the fifth minute of the second half, Pape Sarr, who received a forward pass from Dejan Kulusevski, who was out of opposition pressure, raised his left foot high from the gate and scored the first goal.

Four minutes later, Son Heung-min turned a short cutback to Timo Werner from the left side of the penalty area to help him score for the second consecutive game.
