Tuchel appreciates 'dirty victory' as Hasenhuttl fumes

Thomas Tuchel concedes luck was on Borussia Dortmund's side in a hard-fought 2-0 Bundesliga win over Ingolstadt on Saturday.

Dortmund struggled to breakdown the visitors at Signal Iduna Park and Ingolstadt had a goal ruled out under contentious circumstances in the 66th minute.

There was also debate as to whether Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was offside for his opener and Ingolstadt's afternoon worsened when the Gabon forward added a second to secure the points.

"In some cases we were lucky," he told the club's official website. 

"Some days you have to appreciate even a dirty victory."

He told reporters: "If the referee had been half as brave as we were, we would have taken at least a point."
