bundesliga.com rounds up the best of the post-match reaction from the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK...
Mats Hummels (Bayern Munich): “It was a game with chances at both ends, and ultimately we stuck away two more chances than they did. Our efficiency in front of goal made the difference today. We don’t mind if the title race is boring, but I don’t think it will be. Everything can change in two or three games, so we need to keep performing well. We’re obviously very happy with how we’ve done under Jupp Heynckes so far.”
Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich): “It was a very open game. Both teams had a lot of chances. We scored three goals. It was a very important win that proves we’re in good form.”

Jupp Heynckes (Bayern Munich coach): “We played exceptional football in the first half in particular, although Borussia Dortmund also had good goalscoring opportunities. Sven Ulreich kept us in the game. Compliments to my team - it was a superb performance.”
Peter Bosz (Borussia Dortmund coach): “Bayern were by far the better team in the first half. We were chasing shadows and didn’t mark up tightly enough. We’d talked about being very compact but we weren’t able to do that in the first half.”

Julian Weigl (Borussia Dortmund): “We couldn’t get a grip on the game in the first half and made things far too easy for Bayern.”
Gonzalo Castro (Borussia Dortmund): “We weren’t as effective in the first half as we were in the second, but we still had two or three golden opportunities to make it 1-1. We were down to ten men when we conceded the first goal, which was unnecessary. We tried everything in the second half and had chances to pull a goal back, which would have made things interesting. There are times when you have to stick together as a team. Our form will improve eventually.”
