Colgone relegated, Dortmund break records

Cologne were relegated from the Bundesliga after suffering a thumping 4-1 home defeat to Bayern Munich today. Two goals from Thomas Muller, a Pedro Geromel own goal and an Arjen Robben strike rendered Milivoje Novakovic's strike irrelevant as Hertha Berlin's 3-1 win over Hoffenheim meant Cologne finished second bottom. Cologne went into the game knowing if they matched Hertha's result they would avoid automatic relegation, but in the end it was the capital club who gave themselves a second chance. Anis Ben-Hatira opened the scoring before netting a second 14 minutes from time and, although Hoffenheim, who lost Ryan Babel to an early red card, pulled a goal back through Marvin Compper, Raffael sealed victory with the last kick of the game at the Olympiastadion.

Klaas Jan Huntelaar bagged a brace to help third-placed Schalke end their season on a high after their 3-2 win at Werder Bremen. Julian Draxler broke the deadlock for the visitors and Claudio Pizarro equalised with a penalty before Huntelaar netted his double, with Pizarro then pulling one back. Schalke had already secured third place in the Bundesliga and a direct spot in the UEFA Champions League next season, but Huntelaar's 28th and 29th goals gave him the top scorer crown ahead of Bayern's Mario Gomez. Fine Reus farewell Marco Reus scored two goals and set up a third - scored by Igor de Camargo - in his final game for Borussia Monchengladbach as they claimed a 3-0 win at Mainz.
