DORTMUND, Germany : Borussia Dortmund staged a convincing 4-2 comeback win over VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga on Friday, thanks to a brace from Serhou Guirassy, but coach Nuri Sahin insists his side must continue to improve defensively to avoid further setbacks.

"The supposed scenario of a 3-0, which could have happened, was simply because we defended very, very badly. It was very, very poor defending," the coach told a press conference. Sahin praised the performance of new signing Guirassy, who headed home before the break and scored in the second half, as the key to his side's victory.
"That's why we brought him in, so that he can help lead here, so that he's not just on the pitch but also off it."
