Thomas Tuchel praised the performance of his Borussia Dortmund players after they dominated Bayer Leverkusen for the entire 90 minutes of their 3-0 win at Signal Iduna Park.
Jonas Hofmann's first-half goal gave Dortmund a deserved lead, but when Leverkusen threatened to force their way back into the contest, Dortmund shut their visitors out and added further efforts through Shinji Kagawa’s cool finish and a penalty from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The win took Dortmund to the top of the Bundesliga on goal difference, and extended their winning streak under Tuchel to 11 consecutive games in all competitions, just three days after a 2-1 win over Krasnodar in the Europa League.
"We knew beforehand that we needed an absolute top performance. We have displayed a great sharpness," he told reporters.
"Our initial phase was very good. After 1-0, it was a more open game. With the last 30 minutes I am very satisfied.
"It was not an easy match, Bayer play very good football, but we were very concrete. We are here also to inspire our audience. We succeed at present."
Attacking midfielder Marco Reus had hoped to return from a toe injury against Leverkusen but was an unused substitute and Tuchel explained why he kept him on the bench. . This posts are taken from the original authorized page. Authorized by the original author.
