Hamburg  - Hoffenheim went back to the top of the Bundesliga Saturday after previous leaders Hertha Berlin slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich went by the same scoreline at home to Cologne.

Demba Ba scored a hat-trick for Hoffenheim who missed a stoppage-time penalty in an entertaining 3-3 draw at VfB Stuttgart - the point enough to put Ralf Rangnick's side back on top on goal difference.

The results could benefit third-placed SV Hamburg who will go top if they can win at fifth-placed Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday.
