Borussia Dortmund playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan has admitted that he was relieved to end his drought in front of goal in the 5-1 win over Werder Bremen on Saturday.
The Armenia international scored two goals in the victory - his first for the Bundesliga side since September.
"Of course I'm very happy because I've scored two goals and we've won," he told reporters.
"I'd put myself under too much pressure. I think I was able to play more relaxed today and I hope it carries on like this.
"These goals will certainly help relax me even more. To be honest, I had a huge burden weighing me down, but I believed in myself and worked hard, and I hoped things would work out today."
Mkhitaryan joined Dortmund last summer.
