This marked the Belgian keeper's fourth clean sheet in the past five league matches and his sixth in total. He has a good chance for another on Tuesday at second-to-last Hertha Berlin.

Impact Casteels was simply outstanding throughout this contest, and his efforts were rewarded appropriately with the clean sheet victory over a potent Dortmund attack.
