Full-time: Gladbach 5-2 Bochum

Gladbach ended a five-game winless run by handing out a thumping 5-2 win over Bochum. Nathan Ngoumou and captain Julian Weigl gave the Foals a 2-0 lead going into half-time before substitute Rocco Reitz and Jordan scored either side of Philipp Hofmann pulling one back for Bochum. The visitors found a second through Keven Schlotterbeck but were well beaten by the time Franck Honorat lashed home with the final kick of the game. Gladbach leapfrog Bochum on goal-difference.

Now it's over

We did say it was a slim chance and those faint away hopes are now firmly dashed. Jordan is the man on the scoresheet, bundling Gladbach's fourth into the back of the net to wrap up the points.

How has Jordan missed?! Neuhaus squares it from the left and Jordan just has to tap home from six-yards but scuffs it wide. The USA international won't look forward to seeing that again later on.

A reminder that the kick-off in Gladbach was delayed by 10 minutes earlier on today, so we're getting back underway later than the three games elsewhere.

Half-time: Gladbach 2-0 Bochum

An eventful start and end to that first-half ends with Gladbach 2-0 up at the break. Bochum thought they were in front early on but Bernardo's early effort was ruled out before Ngoumou and Weigl put the Foals in front. Neuhaus then had an effort chalked off on the stroke of half-time.

Another goal ruled out

Florian Neuhaus exchanges a neat one-two with Jordan on the edge of the box before placing home, but an excellent goal is ruled out by technology due to a tug on Ordets' shirt by Jordan as Neuhaus raced onto his pass. It remains 2-0 to the hosts.

Gladbach double their lead

It's suddenly all happening and, out of nowhere, Gladbach have a two-goal lead. Ordets handles in the box, allowing Julian Weigl to step up and convert from 12-yards. Their opener has since changed ownership once more and has now been given to Nathan Ngoumou.

Gladbach in front

We now have our opener. A corner from the left ricochets off a couple of players and ends up in the back of the net as Marvin Friedrich stabs home from close range. It looked like it may have already crossed the line via a Bochum player just beforehand but, either way, it's 1-0 to the Foals.

The moment Bernardo thought he'd put Bochum in front

Bochum goal ruled out

The visitors think they've made a perfect start but Bernardo's effort is ruled out for handball. The ball bounces in the box as Gladbach fail to deal with a corner and the video assistant adjudges Bernardo to have handled before tapping home from about two yards. Almost immediately, Gladbach hit the bar at the other end. A lively start but it remains goalless.

Seaone's view on Bochum

"Bochum have been playing with a clear identity for some time. They're very aggressive out of possession, have a clearly defined style of play, and are very tough to play against. We know that it will be a big challenge."

Letsch's view on Gladbach

"We know how strong Gladbach can be at home - who they've already beaten there. The respect is there, but of course we're travelling there to get a win. We want to build a buffer [in the table]."
