DORTMUND, Germany -- Dortmund coach Lucien Favre said that his team deserved to win in a thrilling Klassiker over Bayern Munich, calling it a "crazy game" and an "advert for the Bundesliga."
Saturday's night lived up to the billing as the Black and Yellows managed to separate themselves by seven points over their Southern rivals in a 3-2 come-from-behind victory.
Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski headed past goalkeeper Marwin Hitz after 26 minutes for a deserved lead with the guests dominating the opening 30 minutes. BVB captain Marco Reus equalised in the 49th minute from the spot after being brought down by Neuer but the Polish centre-forward found another response just three minutes later to reclaim the lead.
