'Incredible': Miro Muheim relishes second successive late winner for on-form Hamburg

· Bundesliga-Official

Miro Muheim's stunning strike in the 88th minute earned Hamburg a dramatic 1-0 home victory over Stuttgart - remarkably, it was the second time in as many Bundesliga matches the midfielder had scored a late winning goal for his side. On-song HSV have now won three league games in a row for the first time in 16 years.

With two minutes of regular time to go at the Volksparkstadion, Hamburg's Matchday 6 clash with Stuttgart looked to be petering out to a 0-0 draw. The visitors had dominated possession, but home goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes had kept them at bay with several eye-catching saves.

It was at that point that Zakaria El Ouahdi drove in from the right and laid the ball off to Muheim . The Swiss midfielder, a good 25 metres out, took a touch to get the ball onto his favoured left foot and promptly powered an unstoppable shot past Dennis Seimen to score what would prove to be the winning goal, much to the delight of the home faithful.

While this turn of events would have been sufficiently climactic on its own, Muheim's thunderbolt marked the second time in as many matches that he has scored a late winner for Hamburg; he previously came off the bench to secure all three points at Hoffenheim with a well-struck 94th-minute effort on Matchday 5 .
