Hamburger 3 - 2 Monchengladbach: Hamburg get the better of Gladbach in five-goal encounter

Hamburg ended their six-game wait for a win by coming from behind to beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-2 on Sunday.

Fabian Johnson gave the Foals a 14th-minute lead, just seconds after Josip Drmic had failed in a one-on-one situation with Yann Sommer.

Lewis Holtby somewhat embarrassingly did not go for goal with only Sommer to beat minutes later, electing instead to square the ball, but making a mess of his pass before holding his head in shame.

It did not ultimately matter, though, as Martin Hinteregger diverted Gideon Jung's wayward shot into his own goal after Cleber had hit the crossbar and Artjoms Rudnevs drilled in a second before half-time.

Ivo Ilicevic added a third for Hamburg late on, but they had to cling on after Raffael set up a grandstand finish with his ninth goal of the season with two minutes of normal time left.
