BERLIN (AFP) - Hamburg coach Huub Stevens was a happy man as his side enjoyed a 4-1 romp against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday to reclaim third in the Bundesliga while rivals Bayer Leverkusen were shocked at VfL Bochum.

Hamburg took the lead at home when Peru striker Jose Paolo Guerrero scored with a header as early as the fifth minute and Dutch midfielder Nigel de Jong made it 2-0 when he headed home a Rafael van der Vaart cross on 57 minutes.

Greek defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos reduced the deficit in the 70th minute for Frankfurt, but Guerrero added his second before Egyptian striker Mohamed Zidan scored the fourth seven minutes from the final whistle.

Hamburg are now on 41 points, six behind leaders Bayern.

"I think that we took our chances well and produced some good attacking football," said Hamburg coach Stevens.

"It was important that we got three points and moved back up the table."

Also on Sunday, Bayer dropped to fourth after they were humbled 2-0 by Bochum, who lie a lowly 12th, when Polish midfielder Thomas Zdebel smashed home a left-footed shot on 66 minutes.

And midfielder Christoph Dabrowski made sure of the three points when he netted two minutes from time to seal the win.

"In terms of effort, I can't criticise my team, but we never found our rhythm and we had a few chances to get a better result," said Bayer coach Michael Skibbe.

Meanwhile on Saturday, Bayern star Franck Ribery reinforced Franz Beckenbauer's opinion that the German giants rely too much on the midfielder by setting up the only goal in the 1-0 win at title-rivals Schalke 04.

Germany striker Miroslav Klose scored his tenth Bundesliga goal to seal the win at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen as Schalke fell to their third straight league defeat leaving Bayern top with a four-point lead.

Werder Bremen stay second after their 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund and four points adrift of Bayern thanks to a double-strike from Swedish striker Markus Rosenberg.

In the days other results, Karlsruhe moved into fifth place with a 3-1 win over VfL Wolfsburg.

Strugglers Hansa Rostock and Arminia Bielefeld shared a point in their 1-1 draw as they both remain just above the relegation zone.

After their humiliating German Cup quarter-final defeat at the hands of second division relegation candidates Carl Zeiss Jena, defending champions VfB Stuttgart had their game with Energie Cottbus cancelled by bad weather.

Nuremberg's misery continues as they remain locked in the bottom three after their 2-1 defeat by Hanover.

On Friday, Hertha Berlin remained in midtable after picking up three points when they beat bottom side Duisburg 2-0 at the Olympic Stadium.
