Lucas Höler opened the scoring for the hosts in the third minute and although Robert Lewandowski levelled matters for the Bavarians in the 22nd minute.

They find themselves two points behind rivals Borussia Dortmund on the table, who snatched two late goals for all the three points at the death against Wolfsburg.

Three first half goals from Fortuna Düsseldorf were too much for Borussia Monchengladbach to overhaul as they succumbed to a 3-1 defeat on Saturday afternoon.

Yussuf Poulsen scored a hat-trick as RB Leipzig thrashed Hertha Berlin 5-0 on Saturday evening at Red Bull Arena.
