Senegal striker Mame Diouf scored his first Bundesliga goal since August as Hanover broke their seven-match winless streak with a 2-0 victory over ten-man Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.

Diouf helped ease the pressure on Hanover coach Mirko Slomka when he headed home on 24 minutes for the opening goal, his third of an injury-hit season.

Hungary midfielder Szabolcs Huszti then swung in a superb free-kick on 68 minutes for his sixth goal of the season as Hanover picked up their first win since September to go ninth.

Frankfurt were reduced to ten men for the final half hour when midfielder Martin Lanig was sent off for a harsh second yellow card after a tackle on Poland's Artur Sobiech following a previous booking.

The defeat leaves Frankfurt 15th and just above the relegation places having also posted their last Bundesliga win in September.

Borussia Moenchengladbach picked up their fifth consecutive win at home with a 1-0 victory over Freiburg, which kept their visitors firmly in the bottom three, as Brazilian midfielder Raffael scored the 63rd-minute winner to leave Gladbach fourth.

Borussia Dortmund picked up their first win in three league games with a hard-fought 3-1 success at ten-man Mainz 05 to stay third and seven points behind Bayern.

Dortmund took the lead on 70 minutes when Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fired home a superb free-kick, but the lead lasted just four minutes before Cameroon's Eric Choupo-Moting slotted home a penalty.

Mainz were reduced to 10 men when Colombia's Elkin Soto was sent off for stopping the ball going into the net with his hand and Poland striker Robert Lewandowski fired home the 79th-minute penalty.

Lewandowski then made sure of the points with his second penalty when he converted the 94th-minute spot kick after left-back Erik Durm was up-ended.

Bayer Leverkusen bounced back from their 5-0 drubbing at home to Manchester United in the Champions League on Wednesday -- their worst home result in Europe -- with a 3-0 win at home to Nuremberg to stay second.

South Korea striker Son Heung-Min netted twice while Germany's Stefan Kiessling hit their second after a superb back-heel from midfielder Jens Hegeler.
