Pressure mounts on Klopp after Dortmund slip to fourth straight league defeat

They’ve been great in Europe but awful at home.

BORUSSIA DORTMUND’S HORROR run of Bundesliga results continued on Saturday as they lost 1-0 at home to Hanover 96 to drop to 15th after a fourth straight defeat.

Dortmund’s terrible domestic form is in stark contrast to their Champions League campaign, where they top their group with three straight wins after Wednesday’s impressive 4-0 victory at Galatasaray.

But seven days before they face Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich away, Dortmund are now winless in their last six league games and just a point above the relegation zone.

“We have to keep going — and ensure that we no longer feel like this after games,” insisted Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp.

“We turned all the screws and still we’re left empty-handed. That’s tough.

“We can’t do more, but we can do things better. We aren’t in a good situation in the Bundesliga and that’s something we haven’t come to terms with until now.

“We’ll continue to fight, the opponent made a lot out of little, we made nothing out of a lot.”

Klopp was left fuming on the sidelines at their Westfalenstadion as Japan’s Hiroshi Kiyotake curled in a free kick to score Hanover’s first goal for 416 minutes following three straight defeats.

Mid-table Hanover finished with 10 men after Turkey midfielder Ceyhun Guelselam earned a red card for his second booking after a clumsy challenge on Dortmund winger Marco Reus on 89 minutes.
