Gladbach get upward momentum

Borussia Monchengladbach moved into the top six of the Bundesliga thanks to a narrow 1-0 win over fourth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.

Luuk de Jong's goal midway through the first half was enough for Lucien Favre's side to take all three points from the Waldstadion with a performance reminiscent of their best from last season.

The Foals relied on a strong and efficient counter-attacking style to snatch all three points and to move into the frame for a second straight season in the Europa League, while Frankfurt will drop out of the top four this weekend if Freiburg win in Nurnberg.
