Bayer Leverkusen moved to within seven points of Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund and strengthened their hold on second place with a comfortable 2-0 win over Schalke.
First-half goals from Eren Derdiyok and a Christoph Metzelder own goal earned the home side all three points to take them five points ahead of third-placed Hannover with seven games of the season remaining.
Josef Eichkorn’s one and only game in charge of the Royal Blues ended in a deserved defeat as he was unable to breathe life into a side which has excelled in the cup competitions, but disappointed in the Bundesliga this season.
Ralf Rangnick will take over as coach from tomorrow and he inherits a side which is in the final of the DFB-Pokal and the last eight of the Champions League, but now just five points above the relegation zone in the Bundesliga.
