It's back to the drawing board for Julian Nagelsmann after the defeat.

Bragging rights went to Mönchengladbach on Saturday after Lars Stindl's winner decided the Rhine Derby against Cologne. Peter Stöger's side missed out on consolidating their European place and lost ground to Freibuig and rivals Gladbach. But again, it was captain Stindl who popped up when it mattered most to score the winner.

Nils Petersen is known as 'The Joker' around Freiburg these days. But he's not the bad guy - he is the man the fans love at the picturesque Schwarzwald-Stadion. The 28-year-old went level with Alexander Zickler as the player to score most goals (18) after coming off the bench in the Bundesliga.

Timo Werner was back in Leipzig colors from the beginning for the visit of Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. But the headlines went to substitute Yussuf Poulsen who took advantage of his cameo role, scoring the winner in stoppage time.

The Royal Blues had no issues in the 4-1 win over Wolfsburg in Gelsenkirchen. After an embarrassing defeat to Werder Bremen, Markus Weinzierl's side had to deliver a big performance - and they did. Leon Goretzka shone in midfield. Thilo Kehrer impressed at the back. Max Meyer was creative. Daniel Caligiuri got on the scoresheet. Just a routine Saturday at the office ...

When Arjen Robben picks up the ball on Bayern Munich's right wing, everybody in the stadium knows what he is going to do. After all, he's been doing it for almost a decade.

Class really is timeless.

After one goal in eight games, Frankfurt finally found their scoring boots as they drew 2-2 at home to resurgent Werder Bremen. Initially though, it looked like fortune would desert them again - David Abraham's rocket effort unluckily flying back off the bar. Niko Kovac's side have nevertheless dropped well outside of the European places and may now have to satisfied with a mid-table finish.

Eight days ago, Ingolstadt were 10 points adrift of safety. Three games, three victories and nine points later, that gap has been reduced to a single point.

Survival is suddenly a real possibility.

Hertha BSC ended their three-game losing streak with a comfortable 2-0 victory over struggling Augsburg to reignite their Europa League dreams.
