Borussia Dortmund probably showed the best performance ever by a team sitting bottom of the Bundesliga. In the first half, the Black and Yellows had a season-best 15 shots on goal. Overall, they held a 22-1 shots advantage, forced seven corners to Gladbach’s zero and achieved a tackle-success rate of 58 percent to set a new defensive club record.

Strong defensive display: Borussia Dortmund have never allowed fewer shots on target against them since statistics have been collected in 1991 - it took Gladbach 64 minutes to register their first and only shot of the match.

Marco Reus was unstoppable on Sunday.

Clean sheet: BVB kept their first clean sheet in the Bundesliga this season, something they had only achieved in the Supercup (2-0 against Bayern) as well as in three of their four Champions League matches.

Bottom spot: After earning only one point from their previous seven matches in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund finally managed to win again and move off bottom spot they occupied for 23 hours. The last time BVB found themselves bottom of the Bundesliga at this stage of the season was 29 years ago (in 1985/86).

Lively display: Marco Reus was involved in 13 of Borussia’s 22 shots on goal (had eight and set up five more).

One-match ban: Sokratis received his fifth yellow card of the season and will serve a one-match ban against Paderborn. The last time a Borussia Dortmund player missed a game due to a yellow-card suspension was in the 23rd game of last season.

Debut booking: In his 28th Bundesliga game, Erik Durm received his first ever yellow card.

No rotation: For the first time since February, Jürgen Klopp picked the same starting line-up for two games in a row, making no changes to the side that beat Galatasaray 4-1.

First defeat: Borussia Mönchengladbach saw their 19-game unbeaten run this season come to an end.

Toothless up front: Mönchengladbach mustered just one shot on goal in the entire match. The last time that happened was in a 0-0 draw against HSV on 8 May 2005.

Own goal: Christoph Kramer scored his first ever own goal in the Bundesliga, while Mönchengladbach conceded an own goal for the first time since 1 March (Ter Stegen in Braunschweig).
