Josip Juranovic post Celtic dream start with key moment in Union Berlin comeback win to go second

Josip Juranovic made the dream start to life at Union Berlin with the game winning moment on his debut.

The former Celtic defender was pitched in from the start as he made his Bundesliga bow in an away clash with Werder Bremen. The full-back and his new side are flying high in Germany's top flight and now only trail Bayern Munich at the midway stage of the season after going into second spot following a comeback win on the road - with the Croatia international playing a starring role.

Juranovic's dream debut got off to a bad start with his new side falling behind with just 13 minutes on the clock as Amos Pieper got his head to a dangerous free-kick and his flicked effort found the back of the net. The visitors weren't made to wait long for a leveller and it is a moment the home side will want to forget. Pieper, the hero just four minutes earlier was the villain as his loose back pass to his goalkeeper was intercepted but after an initial block from Bremen No1, Janik Haberer was on hand to fire home.
