A Milivoje Novakovic hat-trick helped lowly Cologne to a 3-2 win over Hamburg SV in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Hamburg dropped to eighth place on 15 points.

Werder Bremen missed their chance to climb up the table after Nuremberg's Hugo Almeida grabbed a late winner in a 3-2 victory.

VfL Wolfsburg celebrated their first win in four games when they beat VfB Stuttgart with goals in either half from Simon Kjaer and captain Edin Dzeko to move up to 12th spot on 13 points from 10 games.

On Friday Bayern Munich eased past Freiburg 4-2 to move up to seventh place on 15 points.
