Frontzeck's men were desperate to make up for last weekend's embarrassing 7-0 defeat at Stuttgart and started well with Marco Reus having a goal disallowed for offside then Juan Arango opening the scoring.

But St Pauli stormed back after the break to claim their first win in four league games thanks to goals from Gerald Asamoah and Florian Bruns.

To make matters worse Monchengladbach had Mohammadou Idrissou sent off in injury time.

Another under-pressure coach, Wolfsburg's Steve McClaren, saw his side win for a second successive match after they triumphed 3-1 at Hamburg.

Edin Dzeko had given the visitors the lead after 15 minutes but Eric Choupo-Moting equalised before the break.

Two late goals from Grafite tied up the points for Wolfsburg.

Klaas Jan Huntelaar's late goal gave last season's Bundesliga runner-up Schalke their first victory of the season with a 2-1 success at 10-man Freiburg.

Ivan Rakitic gave Schalke the lead after nine minutes before Papiss Demba Cisse equalised in the 69th minute.

Huntelaar struck the winner in the 87th minute before Freiburg were reduced to 10 men in stoppage time when Ivica Banovic saw red.

Javier Pinola's last-gasp strike gave 10-man Nurnberg their first victory of the season at the expense of Stuttgart.

Julian Schieber gave Nurnberg the lead after just three minutes but the hosts went a man down in the 66th minute when Andreas Wolf was shown a second yellow card.

Cacau equalised for Stuttgart in the 85th minute but Pinola snatched the points for the hosts with a 2-1 win.

Two goals from Lucas Barrios and one each by Kevin Grosskreutz, Mats Hummels and Robert Lewandowski saw Borussia Dortmund defeat Kaiserslautern 5-0.

A last-minute penalty from Arturo Vidal saw Bayer Leverkusen win 2-1 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Vidal netted from the spot after Patrick Ochs had been dismissed for a second bookable offence conceding the spot kick.

Lars Bender had given the home side an early lead before Theofanis Gekas equalised.
