Hamburg 0-1 Bayern Munich
Strikers Bobby Wood (Hamburg) and Robert Lewandowski (Bayern) were frustrated, combining for just 47 touches, and it took a fittingly messy goal to separate the two. It came from French midfielder Corentin Tolisso and pulled Bayern level with leaders BVB on points, three goals back in differential.
Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2 Borussia Dortmund
BVB is, quite officially, in a bit of a funk. Nuri Sahin and Marvin Philipp gave the visitors a 2-0 lead, but Eintracht sprung for goals in the 64th and 68th minutes to deny the leaders more than a point. Christian Pulisic ran his socks off, as usual, with more than 11km covered, but will not look back on his 90 minutes fondly. It happens.
Borussia Monchengladbach 1-5 Bayer Leverkusen
American left winger Fabian Johnson buried a seventh minute goal... then watched the visitors put five of their six shots on target home for a gnarly home loss.
