Dortmund fall to 10th defeat
Borussia Dortmund's Bundesliga crisis deepened on Saturday after suffering their tenth defeat of the season in losing 2-1 at fellow strugglers Werder Bremen to drop to second from bottom.
Dortmund continue to have the most defeats in Germany's top flight at the season's halfway stage with just 15 points from 17 games as Bremen claimed only their fourth win of the season to climb off the foot of the table.
Borussia fell behind with just three minutes gone when Bremen's 19-year-old striker Davie Selke curled in a superb goal from 15 metres out.
Selkie then turned provider putting in a great cross which Bremen midfielder Fin Bartels converted on 62 minutes.
Hummels pulled a goal back when he headed home unmarked a corner on 69 minutes, but it was no more than a consolation.
Second-placed Wolfsburg fought back to claim a 2-1 home win against mid-table Cologne later which trimmed Bayern Munich's lead at the top of the table back to 11 points.
Bayer Leverkusen stay third after coming from behind for a 1-1 draw at home to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Roberto di Matteo's Schalke 04 stay fifth in the table after being held to a goalless draw at home to Hamburg in a poor display.
