More misery was piled on Bayern Munich and Thomas Tuchel as the German giants lost their third game in a row after being beaten 3-2 by Bochum.
Bayern suffered a damaging 3-0 defeat by Bundesliga title rivals Bayer Leverkusen last week, before they also lost to Lazio 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday.
They were desperate to bounce back ahead of their trip to Bochum, who were one place clear of the relegation zone prior to kick off.
But after another disastrous performance Bayern now sit eight points behind Bayer Leverkusen with their Bundesliga title hopes left hanging by a thread.
They started the clash brightly, with Jamal Musiala putting Bayern 1-0 up after just 14 minutes.

The result leaves their title hopes hanging by a thread as they sit eight points behind Bayer Leverkusen
It also heaps the pressure on Thomas Tuchel, with Bayern in danger of missing out on the Bundesliga title for the first time since 2011-12, having won it for 11 consecutive seasons
However, Japan star Takuma Asano equalised, with Keven Schlotterbeck putting the hosts ahead on the stroke of half time.
Things went from bad to worse for Bayern, with Dayot Upamecano – who was sent off in midweek against Lazio – dismissed again after picking up two yellow cards, with his second booking leading to a penalty.
Kevin Stoger looked to have confirmed the victory from the spot, although Manuel Neuer got a hand to his effort but couldn’t prevent it from going in.
Harry Kane pulled one back on 87 minutes to give his side hope, before the England captain missed a huge chance in added time.
The defeat came despite Bayern having 70 per cent of possession, and it also follows Leverkusen’s 2-1 victory over FC Heidenheim on Saturday.
The result means Xabi Alonso’s side – who remain unbeaten – are eight points clear of Bayern with 12 games to go, and the German giants are now in danger of missing out on the Bundesliga title for the first time since 2011-12, having won it for 11 consecutive seasons.
