"We have been criticised a lot in recent weeks, and rightly so, but today I am incredibly proud of the lads for how we responded here,"
"It's never easy to play here, you have to hold your nerve. And that's what we did for 90 minutes. Huge compliments to the team."
"Real men's football - not always pretty, but the points count, and the fight paid off. The points haul in the Bundesliga is fine. In the Champions League, I'd say we could do even better. We have a very, very important game on Wednesday, but in the Bundesliga we're right on target."
Borussia Dortmund beat Union Berlin 3-0 following a Champions League defeat, with Emre Can converting a penalty and Nico Schlotterbeck and Maximilian Beier adding goals. Gregor Kobel recorded his 50th Bundesliga clean sheet to secure the away victory, moving Dortmund eight points behind Bayern Munich after Bayern lost to Augsburg. Can has now converted all 12 of his Bundesliga penalties, placing him behind only Harry Kane, Hans-Joachim Abel and Ludwig Nolden for consecutive successful spot-kicks. Dortmund responded to recent criticism with a resilient performance under Niko Kovac while preparing for an important midweek fixture and Champions League improvement.
