Borussia Mönchengladbach have secured their safety in the Bundesliga with a crucial win over VfL Bochum at the Veltins-Arena on Saturday.
The hosts took the lead early in the second half through goalscorer Kevin Schwenig, who scored his first goal for the club after coming off the bench in place of injured striker Andre Shirokov.
VfL Bochum were unable to find the equaliser and Mönchengladbach held on for a well-deserved three points.
With just six games remaining in the season, Mönchengladbach now sit in eighth place in the table, two points above the bottom three teams and four points clear of the relegation zone.
The win means that Mönchengladbach will be safe from the drop next season, while VfL Bochum will have to fight hard to avoid the drop themselves.
Despite the result, there was plenty of drama in the game as both sides made late substitutions in a bid to secure victory.
In the end, it was Mönchengladbach who came out on top, thanks to the impressive display from Schwenig.
The win is a huge boost for Mönchengladbach, who will now look to continue their strong run of form and push for a top-four finish this season.
Overall, it was another important win for Mönchengladbach, and one that could prove vital in their battle against relegation.
