Bundesliga Matchday 26 in pictures

Schalke and Borussia Dortmund shared the points in Gelsenkirchen, drawing 1-1. Youngster Thilo Kehrer scored his first ever professional goal to level the scores, netting in his 11th Bundesliga game for the Royal Blues. Home fans might have felt hard done by in stoppage time, when a handball penalty appeal against Marc Bartra was turned away by ref Felix Zwayer.

No Spiderman or Batman and Robin routine this time, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang donned a mask of his own making to celebrate opening the scoring in the derby away to Schalke. A look at his Instagram account reveals the providence of the new costume, it appears to be connected to a Nike promotional bid to dub the fun-loving Gabonese star "The Masked Finisher."

Bayern Munich's 6-0 cruise against Augsburg was punctuated by another Robert Lewandowski hat trick. The Pole moves up to 24 Bundesliga goals for the season, dead even with Aubameyang. It's also the fourth straight season in which he's scored 22 or more, and the sixth consecutive Allianz Arena game with Lewa on target - he's the first player ever to manage that. Creator Thiago had a great game too.

Werder Bremen's uptick in form continues. Max Kruse scored a belter against his old club in Freiburg to kick off a 5-2 victory. But Thomas Delaney had an even better day at the office, marauding forward from his holding role in midfield to score a hat trick. He laid on another for Finn Bartels, too. Delaney went home on the team bus clutching a big, plastic number 3. Don't milk it, fella!

You could forgive Thorsten Frings for struggling to stomach matters at the moment. Darmstadt remain rooted to the foot of the Bundesliga table - something a 4-0 defeat in Leipzig won't change. Naby Keita bagged a brace against the Lilies, who conceded three of the four in the last half hour. Darmstadt have lost seven of their last nine, albeit beating Mainz and Dortmund in that time.

HSV's positive run continues, especially at home in the Bundesliga. Markus Gisdol's lads have won four of their last five up north in the league, drawing the other game. Saturday's 2-1 win over Cologne came despite some heroics between the sticks from keeper Timo Horn. This winning goal from Lewis Holtby only fell after two spectacular saves from the goalie shown lying flat on his back.

A red card for Hertha's Maxi Mittelstädt turned Friday's fixture in Berlin. The match stood 1-1 at the time, but Hoffenheim pinned their hosts down once they had the extra player. Sandro Wagner didn't get on the scoresheet, but had a busy night and created one of Andrej Kramaric's goals. He also suffered a dislocated index finger in the first half and played through the pain.

Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt's goalless draw did not live up to its pride of place on the fixture list in the Saturday evening spot. Neither side really threatened, save for a Frankfurt penalty for handball by Oscar Wendt. Marco Fabian stepped up, but Yann Sommer batted the ball away. Honors even.

Where would Wolfsburg be in 2017 without Mario Gomez? The striker single-handily powered the Wolves into the lead with the fourth-quickest hat trick in Bundesliga history. He scored three times in seven minutes in a topsy-turvy encounter in Leverkusen. Kai Havertz equalized less than 90 seconds after Gomez's third to give both teams a share of the spoils.

Ingolstadt trimmed the deficit to seven points ahead of the midweek fixtures with a 2-1 win over struggling Mainz. After Levin Öztunali leveled the scores, Florian Hadergjonaj swept the ball into the net with what looked like an attempt to cross into the middle of the box. Ingolstadt win for the first time in five, while Mainz lose for the third game on the spin.
