The Dortmund manager was pleased by BVB's win over bitter rival
Schalke, singling out Henrikh Mkhitaryan for particularly high praise.
Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp shared his delight at watching
his side earn a deserved 3-0 win over local Bundesliga rival Schalke
in the 146th Revierderby on Saturday.
A dominant performance was not rewarded until 12 minutes from time,
when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang slotted home the opener following a
defensive error.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan added a second just a minute later, before young
goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther was caught in possession by Marco Reus,
allowing the Germany international to roll the ball into an empty net.
The result extends Dortmund's winning streak in the Bundesliga
to four games and leaves it eight points outside of the Champions
League places.
"It was an absolutely perfect afternoon and a really great game for
my team," Klopp told Dortmund's official website. "From the first to
the last minute we looked good with the ball, moving into the right
places and showed outstanding counterattacking pressing.
"In the first half we had plenty of chances, but unfortunately we
couldn't convert them. It was important for us not to show any nerves
and we finally made a breakthrough after 77 minutes."
While there was no shortage of impressive individual performances from
his team, Klopp was particularly keen to praise the contribution of
Armenian playmaker Mkhitaryan.
He added: "I think that everyone wanted to jump on him when he scored.
He had a really great game. It was the best game I've seen him play
for Borussia Dortmund."
