FRANKFURT - Second-place Wolfsburg beat Freiburg 3-0 on Sunday to remain 11 points behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, and keep Freiburg firmly in the relegation zone.

The defeat left Freiburg next to last, three points from safety.

In the late match, Patrick Herrmann scored both goals for Borussia Moenchengladbach to beat Hannover 2-0. Moenchengladbach is third, nine points behind Wolfsburg and two points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen.

De Bruyne earned a penalty when he was brought down by Freiburg goalkeeper Roman Buerki, who escaped a red card. Rodriguez converted from the spot in the 78th. De Bruyne then provided the cross for Arnold's goal in the 84th.

Hermann connected with a low cross from Thorgan Hazard at the far post to open the scoring for Moenchengladbach in the 43rd. He sealed a sixth straight home victory with another close-range shot, after being picked out by Max Kruse in the 75th.
