Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel
commended his side's "special winning mentality"
following their dramatic victory over Wolfsburg.
Thomas Tuchel has labelled Borussia Dortmund's last-gasp
Bundesliga victory over Wolfsburg as "one of the biggest
challenges" he has faced since taking the helm at Signal Iduna
Park.
Shinji Kagawa's stoppage-time strike secured a hard-fought 2-1
win for second-placed Dortmund, moments after a Ricardo
Rodriguez penalty had cancelled out Marco Reus' opener.
And Tuchel, whose side have now closed the gap on league
leaders Bayern Munich to five points following the reigning
champions' defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach earlier in the
day, believes that Dortmund got what they deserved.
"This is obviously a great feeling now. Overall, it was an
absolutely top game, and one of the biggest challenges for my
team," he said.
"In the first 35 minutes we played outstanding, and could have
had a higher lead. After that we played 55 minutes far below
what we can.
"The penalty shortly before the finish was a big disappointment,
although Wolfsburg had threatened and their goal was well
deserved.
"But in the last three minutes, after that goal, we played as we
had done at the start, and we got a great goal.
"At the end, it is a hell of a result. We knew that we needed a top
team performance, especially with the injuries we have, and we
brought one with a very special winning mentality."
