BORUSSIA DORTMUND star Jobe Bellingham’s struggles continued in the Bundesliga against Freiburg.
Dortmund visited the Europa-Park Stadion where they drew 1-1 after Ramy Bensebaini’s opener for the visitors was cancelled out by Lucas Holer.
Bellingham, 20, started for Niko Kovac’s side but endured a rough afternoon in Freiburg.
The midfielder was sent off after 53 minutes following an error at the back.
Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel attempted a risky pass to the England Under-21 international who was in a dangerous position.
Freiburg star Philipp Treu sensed the opportunity and got to the ball first down BVB’s half.
