Former Dortmund striker Julian Schieber shook off two defenders to slot in five minutes before the break as Dortmund suffered their ninth loss in 15 matches.

Fellow Champions League club Schalke 04 suffered a similar fate, slumping to a 2-1 loss against visitors Cologne to drop to sixth on 23 with their first home league defeat since April.

It was also Cologne's first win at Schalke since 1993.
