If the Borussia Dortmund players had been shocked by Wednesday's news that manager Jurgen Klopp will quit the club at the end of the season, they showed no sign that it had affected them on Saturday. Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Shinji Kagawa were on target as Dortmund returned to winning ways with a comfortable victory against relegation-threatened Paderborn at Signal Iduna Park. The win moved last season's Bundesliga runners-up to eighth in the table and leaves them with a realistic chance of qualifying for Europe, which would be a remarkable achievement for a club that was flirting with relegation themselves earlier in the year.

Much of the pre-amble to this fixture understandably centred on Klopp's surprise announcement - coming at a press conference on Wednesday - but Dortmund are slowly creeping back up the table and with victory here moved to within three points of sixth-place Augsburg. Dortmund had lost their two previous Bundesliga matches against Borrusia Monchengladbach and Bayern Munich and, after being held by the visitors for the opening 45 minutes, cruised to victory with plenty to spare. After a frustrating opening 45 the hosts had to wait just three minutes after the interval before taking the lead. Aubameyang delivered a perfect cross from theright and Armenia international Mkhitaryan powered a near post header past Lukas Kruse. Dortmund, clearly wary of their poor defensive record this season, continued to press and increased their advantage just eight minutes later when Aubameyang got his name on the scoresheet after providing the first.

The visitors stunned Klopp's side by coming from two down in the reverse fixture earlier this season to earn a point, but there was to be no repeat this time around. Former Manchester United midfielder Kagawa made absolutely sure of that when he latched on to Mkhitaryan's ball with 10 minutes to play before escaping a challenge and firing past Kruse to complete a routine win.
