Borussia Dortmund remain in the bottom three of the Bundesliga after conceding a late goal to draw 2-2 at home to second-placed Wolfsburg.

Naldo powered home an 85th-minute header for the visitors, who are 11 points adrift of leaders Bayern Munich.

Dortmund went ahead when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang slid in to score the opener before former Chelsea man Kevin De Bruyne levelled with a free-kick.

Ciro Immobile rifled in from 20 yards, but the hosts could not hang on.

Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp insisted his team's performance, and that of £15.5m summer signing Immobile, was encouraging.

"It has been a long time since I have seen a striker play like Ciro did," said Klopp, whose team will face Juventus in the last 16 of the Champions League.

"Our performance was good in many ways and this is something we can build on."

Dortmund, who finished last season as runners-up and were Champions League finalists in 2012-13, have now won only one of their past seven games.

They are 12 points behind Bayer Leverkusen, who occupy the fourth and final Champions League qualification spot.
