Gabon international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang believes Borussia Dortmund's 1-0 victory against Bayern Munich has opened up the title race.
Aubameyang scored the only goal of the game on Saturday as Dortmund moved to within six points of leaders RB Leipzig.
It was Bayern's first Bundesliga loss of the season and Aubameyang thinks is could prove to be a pivotal result in the title race.
"It was extremely important [to win], of course," he said. "We are now finally back on track and we need to continue in this vein.
"We need to keep our focus on our own games and must not get distracted by how other teams are doing. We need to keep going like this."
However, Dortmund have suffered a blow as goalkeeper Roman Burki will be sidelined until the end of the year after breaking his hand during the game.
The 26-year-old will be replaced by the veteran shot-stopper Roman Weidenfeller who is set to start on Tuesday against Legia Warsaw in the Champions League.
Borussia Dortmund can be backed at 5/6 to keep a clean sheet against the Polish side and are 13/2 to win the match 3-0 while they are 5000/1 to win the Bundesliga outright.
