Borussia Monchengladbach's Bundesliga title hopes were dealt a blow as they were beaten 2-0 at Schalke.
Second-placed Monchengladbach fell behind to Suat Serdar's superb strike early in the second half before Michael Gregoritsch added Schalke's second 10 minutes later.
Marco Rose's side remain two points behind leaders Leipzig, who play their first game after the Bundesliga's annual winter break at home against Union Berlin on Saturday.

Schalke, who leapfrogged Borussia Dortmund into fourth place, spurned several first-half chances in front of a 62,271-crowd at the Gelsenkirchen Arena, but took the lead early in the second period through Serdar's thumping finish from outside the penalty area.
Gregoritsch struck for Schalke again soon after with a neat finish from inside the area into the bottom corner.
Former Huddersfield boss David Wagner's side have lost only one of their last 10 league matches.
