Intro:

Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk secure a 5-2 victory at Metalist Kharkiv. Also in the Ukrainian Premier League, Zorya Lugansk and Dynamo Kiev play out a four-goal draw.

Script:

Seven goals and a red card to boot. What more could you ask for during Metalist Kharkiv's game against Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk?

Dnipro are unbeaten this season and Bruno Gama set about preserving that record.

After just over an hour, Gama completed his hat-trick as the visitors found themselves three goals to the good.

But ten-man Metalist pulled one back through Serhiy Bolbat.

A late Dnipro double put the result beyond doubt and, even though Metalist grabbed a consolation, 5-2 it finished.

The goal bonanza continued when Zorya Lugansk faced Dynamo Kiev in Zaporizhzhya, due to the troubles in eastern Ukraine.

Dmytro Khomchenovskiy gave Zorya a 1-0 lead going into the break.

After the re-start, Dynamo levelled the scores before Artem Kravets thought he'd grabbed an 88th-minute winner.

Zorya's Zelijko Ljubenovic intervened, though, to snatch a 2-2 draw with virtually the last kick of the match.
