"?Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel says his side need to remain focused and capitalise on their big 6-0 victory over 10-man Darmstadt on Saturday, and the German knows much tougher tests are ahead.
Tuchel made a bold decision to rest big name players, such as Marc Barta, Mario Gotze and Pierre-Emerick Augameyang, along with Lukasz Piszczek due to injury, but it never came back to haunt the former Mainz boss.
The up-and-coming Christian Pulisic and Emre Mor put in top performances, with the latter linked with a move Liverpool and Stoke this summer, while Mor rejected many top clubs to join BVB.
These two flicks are our pick of the bunch as @BVB's hot streak continues. ? https://t.co/zvHyp1qVMJ
At the post match press conference, quoting "?Goal, manager Tuchel said, "That was in all areas a really well-rounded performance", before adding that "we controlled the game in every phase and therefore won deservedly.
"We had 22 shots on goal, produced many attacks, we're aggressive in the last third and in front of the opposition's goal."
Adrian Ramos and Ousmane Dembele combined with Gonzalo Castro and Pulisic throughout the contest to cause devastation to the back-four of Darmstadt, who on the day weren't resilient enough.
Tuchel, talking about playing the five-man-defence of Darmstadt, said that it was "the most difficult (task), because you need speed, patience and also courage for one-on-ones.
"And you need players who are used to those situations and can create space. After the sending off there was more space and we gave our fans a nice afternoon."

Dortmund beat Legia Warsaw 6-0 in the midweek Champions League fixture; 12 goals in two games will give the side extra confidence to hopefully challenge Bayern Munich up to the final game of the season after recent comfortable title wins for Bayern.
Tuchel ended the conference by stating that "we have been the favourites twice and made the most of it, but now we have to progress."
