Berlin: Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel felt Bayer Leverkusen were lucky to have 11 men on the field at the final whistle after seeing his side beaten 2-0 onâu00c2u0080u00c2u0088Saturday.

Goals from Admir Mehmedi and Javier Hernandez helped Leverkusen narrow the gap on Dortmund to two points.

"We had another 21 fouls against us and we had to make substitutions because of injuries," Tuchel said. "I think it oversteps the mark. Methods are used to such an extent, would ensure that you don't end the game with 11 men."
