Double in seven minutes of Marcus Thuram propels comeback against Freiburg by Borussia Monchengladbach (2-1), who secured their second consecutive victory to consolidate the improvement shown in the last match.
The team led by Marco Rose had gone six games without a win and suffered five consecutive defeats, which they left behind with the win against the bottom team, Schalke, in the previous match.
The home team fell behind when Hungarian Roland Sallai found the net from a pass by Bosnian Ermedin Demirovic in the tenth minute.
It was in the second half when Borussia was able to turn the situation around. Thuram beat Florian Muller after receiving a pass from Lars Stindl and seven minutes later, at the hour mark, he scored again after a cross from Christoph Kramer.
Freiburg scored through Keven Schlotterbeck in added time, but the goal was disallowed by VAR for offside.
The victory brings Marco Rose's team back closer to the European zone. They are seventh, four points behind Bayer Leverkusen, who occupy the continental competition positions. Christian Streich's Freiburg drops to ninth place. EFE
