Hat-trick scorer Marko Arnautovic knew exactly how important the 4-1 victory in Hoffenheim was for the entire Werder team. "That was a great win for the entire team. We played our way back into the top group. Now we finally have to add on. The game against Frankfurt next weekend will be very important for us. We are 15 matches into the season and can really work ourselves up the table. If we pick up three points against Frankfurt, it looks good," said Arnautovic. The other Austrian goal scorer on the day was also looking at the table. "Our biggest strength this season has been getting right back up after a set-back. We have done that a couple of times. Now we have to take the next step," said Sebastian Prödl.

"That was a good performance by the team. They were more confident and more convincing than on Wednesday, when we didn't really come into the game well. There was more fire in the game today. We went much better into the challenges. In the end, the team once again showed what they can do when things roll."
