(Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund can play far better than they did in their 2-0 defeat at Arsenal on Wednesday and the team needs to learn that results are more important than "perfect football", coach Juergen Klopp said.

The Germans squandered their first chance to secure top spot in Champions League Group D when they lost in London -- their first defeat in the tournament this season -- but are still in the driving seat on 12 points after five matches.
