Bundesliga match day 24 in pictures

Schalke got a clear 4-1 victory over Wolfsburg, and the Royal Blues are now unbeaten in the last four games in all competitions. Julian Draxler was the man of the match, scoring two of the goals. Jens Keller's team is slowly re-capturing last year's form.

Bayer Leverkusen turned round their late Saturday game against Stuttgart and got a deserved 2-1 win. A strong performance from Sascha Lewandowski's team left them secure in third place, just a point behind champions Dortmund.

Augsburg have re-awakened their chances of beating relegation after an excellent 1-0 away win over a demoralized Werder Bremen. The Bavarian side are now only six points off 15th place and safety.

In his first game after coming back from suspension, Robert Lewandowski showed how valuable he is for Dortmund with two goals in their 3-1 victory over Hannover. They were his 15th and 16th of the season - leaving him top of the Bundesliga goalscorer standings, alongside Leverkusen's Stefan Kiessling. Dortmund are still second in the table.

The disappointment was etched into the faces of Greuther Fürth's players after their hard-fought 1-1 draw with Hamburg. The bottom side's chances of survival in the Bundesliga are little more than theoretical now - they're seven points off the relegation play-off spot.

After coming through their cup tie in mid-week, Freiburg were happy enough with their 1-1 draw against a tough Nuremberg side on Saturday. The result leaves the overachieving small club in fifth place in the Bundesliga, and on course for next season's Europa League.

Mönchengladbach enjoyed a little luck in their 1-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday night - their first win in the last seven matches. Dutchman Luuk de Jong proved the difference, popping up with the only goal of the game.

Bayern Munich beat lowly Hoffenheim 1-0 on Sunday. Despite a determined challenge from their hosts, the prolific Bavarians kept their 17th clean sheet of the season - two short of their own record.

Fortuna Düsseldorf had most of the chances in their 1-1 home draw to Mainz in Sunday's late game. But the visitors held off their hosts, despite gifting them an own-goal in the sixth minute, to claim a hard fought point.
