Jurgen Klopp relieved to end Borussia Dortmund drought

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp expresses his relief after his side beat Hoffenheim to move off the bottom of the Bundesliga table.

Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he was relieved to see his Borussia Dortmund team beat Hoffenheim 1-0 tonight, and believes that the victory is a sign of things to come.

Dortmund climbed off the bottom of the Bundesliga table as Ilkay Gundogan's first-half header helped last year's runners-up to just their second league win since September.

"I feel relief!" coach Klopp told reporters. "The happiness will come later.

"It was a really intense game. We must continue to work. We had an enormous amount of luck in the penalty situation. And insane bad luck too with the offside situation.

"In terms of points, we still do not have a fantastic yield, but the three were the maximum. It was a good game and a deserved victory. But it is only one. Let's keep going!"

Klopp's side, who eased into the last 16 of the Champions League despite their domestic woes, now sit 14th in Germany's top flight.
