Edin Terzic: Felix Nmecha had a 'fantastic' game for Borussia Dortmund

Nmecha settled the contest after exploiting some space on the edge of the area and coolly slotting Nico Schlotterbeck's cross beyond Nick Pope.

The former Manchester City youngster was signed by Dortmund from Wolfsburg in the summer to fill the vacancy left by England midfielder Jude Bellingham, who left the Bundesliga club for Real Madrid.

"Felix is a brilliant player and we know about his potential and his talent and we knew he could improve our game - he had a fantastic game," Terzic said.

"He finally managed to score, he had many opportunities in the first games of the season. This was a different role, he played more attacking. He had a rocky start in Dortmund and now he is in good form."

As for Howe's comments about Newcastle being given a lesson by Dortmund, Terzic responded: "That is nice to hear but it is just half-time, we face each other in a couple of weeks.

"We deserved in the first half and protected in the second half. We needed to be passionate, have some luck and a good goalie and we had all of that."
