A win so convincing and uplifting that it’s hard to say where it came from. Maybe this is Thomas Frank showing some defiance, and what is possible when you finally have Dominic Solanke back scoring. Maybe this is what happens when you actually try to play on the front foot. Maybe a nadir had actually been reached against West Ham United, and this is the resolute response.
Maybe this just says something about how bad Borussia Dortmund were in a 2-0 that could have been 5-0, because they were pitiful – and that was even before Daniel Svensson’s unfortunate red card.
