Sebastien Haller scored a hat-trick inside seven minutes just days after he made his Borussia Dortmund return following his battle with cancer.
The former West Ham striker, 28, returned to training last week after being diagnosed with testicular cancer in July, having recently joined Dortmund from Dutch champions Ajax in a €31million (£27.4m) deal. Bravely facing the illness, Haller underwent surgery and chemotherapy during the autumn before rejoining his teammates for their training camp in Marbella.
After making his emotional return on Tuesday in a friendly with Fortuna Dusseldorf, Haller emphatically marked his second substitute appearance with a seven-minute hat-trick against Basel. Brought on again shortly after the hour mark with Dortmund leading 3-0, the French-born Ivory Coast international coolly tucked away a penalty in the 81st minute before a simple tap-in five minutes later.
