VfL Wolfsburg beat Cologne 4-1 on Sunday to notch their first win under coach Felix Magath and boost their chances of staying up with three games remaining.

Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic struck twice in the first half and substitute Ashkan Dejagah hammered in two more in the second after Cologne's Sebastein Freis had capitalised on a mistake by keeper Diego Benaglio to cut the deficit.

Magath returned to Wolfsburg last month after leading them to the 2009 Bundesliga title and his team are now in 16th place, two behind Eintracht Frankfurt.

Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund were forced to put title celebrations on hold on Saturday after a surprise 1-0 defeat at relegation-threatened Borussia Moenchengladbach cut their lead to five points.

Dortmund are on 69 points with second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, who beat Hoffenheim 2-1, on 64 with three matches remaining.

Champions Bayern Munich dropped to fourth place following their 1-1 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt with Hanover 96 a point ahead in third place as the two teams battle for third and the last hope of a Champions League spot.
