"After the last few weeks and months, in which we conceded a few last-minute goals, it has almost become a strength of ours to score last-minute goals. I'm obviously extremely happy that we managed to pull it off, but it's also a shame that we got ourselves into this situation in the first place. We were very careless in possession."
"As so often this season, it was a rollercoaster ride. We need to play much better. We conceded two goals from set pieces. That shouldn't happen to us. We've said that many times this season. I hope we learn from it. But in the end, we won. That's the most important thing in football. What could be better than scoring a goal in the last minute, in our stadium, and then experiencing the emotions here?"
Emre Can scored a fifth-minute-of-second-half stoppage-time penalty to secure a 3-2 victory for Borussia Dortmund over St. Pauli. Julian Brandt opened the scoring and Karim Adeyemi extended the lead to 2-0, but James Sands and Ricky-Jade Jones levelled for the Bundesliga's bottom club. Dortmund displayed carelessness in possession and conceded two goals from set pieces, forcing late drama. Brandt and Can emphasised the need to stop relying on last-gasp goals, to calm matches down, and to address defensive lapses and set-piece vulnerabilities quickly.
