Gladbach struck twice late in the first half, in the 39th minute with a Thorgan Hazard penalty and five minutes later through Matthias Ginter.

Bayern, missing several key players through injury, fought back with Arturo Vidal scoring with a low shot but could not get another despite twice hitting the woodwork.

On a day of high drama, Schalke 04 staged a remarkable four-goal comeback to draw 4-4 at Borussia Dortmund..

At Signal Iduna Park, Schalke 04 defender Naldo rose high to score a stoppage-time equaliser as they roared from 0-4 down at halftime to complete the Bundesliga's best comeback in 41 years.

Dortmund had scored four times in 13 minutes but saw their lead evaporate after the break as in-form Schalke, with four wins from their last five league games refused to surrender.

The Royal Blues became only the second Bundesliga team in history to avoid defeat after trailing by at least four goals, after Bayern Munich, who won 6-5 at VfL Bochum after trailing 4-0 in 1976.

There was more misery for Dortmund, without a league win since September, as top striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who had scored one goal and set up another, was sent off in the second half for a foul that earned him a second yellow card.

The result put Schalke on 24 points in third level with Gladbach and Dortmund on 21 in fifth.
