Ihlas Bebou's brace helped Hoffenheim beat Augsburg 3-1 and leapfrog Freiburg into third place.
Speaking to reporters after the game, the 27-year-old striker shared his thoughts on the game and Hoffenheim's impressive position in the table.
"We are on a good run and managed to pick up where we left off. We can build on this win, the result gives us even more belief and self-confidence. The table looks good, even if not everything was perfect today," said Bebou and added:
"We were really solid in the first half and deserved to take the lead after going behind. It got a bit messy after the break, but the 3-1 win was deserved in the end.
"As a striker, it's especially nice when I can help the team with goals, and that's working out quite well at the moment. But I'd also be happy if we won and I didn't manage to get on the scoresheet."
