After completing his loan move from Chelsea to Borussia Dortmund on Friday, Ian Maatsen was thrown straight into the starting line-up and helped his new club to a 3-0 win over Darmstadt on Saturday.

Maatsen's coach, Edin Terzic, was impressed with the Dutchman's performance and hailed him as a "great player".

"He played a great game. He showed what he's capable of. He was very technical in tight spaces. He can pick up speed with his first touch. A great player," Terzic told reporters after the match.

BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl was also impressed by the left-back.

"He was very, very calm. There was no nervousness to be seen, he did very, very well. He's fully fit, he's been getting playing time over the last few weeks."
