Ansgar Knauff scored a stunning last-gasp equaliser to salvage a 3-3 draw for Eintracht Frankfurt against Bundesliga strugglers Werder Bremen. The dramatic turn of events saw the German side's comeback from 3-1 down in a matter of minutes, with Knauff netting his second goal of the match in the 90th minute.
The draw was a thrilling encounter between two teams with vastly different fortunes. Frankfurt looked like they had sealed the points when Knauff scored the equaliser, but Werder Bremen held on for a result that leaves them still clinging to survival hopes in the Bundesliga table.
For Frankfurt, the point was a crucial one, as it keeps their slim chances of European qualification alive. However, the team will be disappointed with the way they conceded three goals without reply, highlighting defensive frailties that need to be addressed if they are to avoid relegation.
Werder Bremen, on the other hand, will take heart from the fact that they were able to extend their unbeaten run away from home. The victory, although against a relatively weaker opponent, demonstrates that the team is slowly starting to find its footing under new management.
The match was played at the Millerntor Stadium in Bremen, with Frankfurt's 3-1 lead seeming like an insurmountable task for Werder Bremen in the dying minutes. But Knauff's dramatic equaliser has left both teams frustrated and disappointed as they head into the winter break.

! Werder Bremen was gettin destroyed but somehow manages a draw. Knauff's goal is insane, i mean we all know he's a beast on the pitch 
. But Frankfurt gotta work on their defense, they're leakin goals left and right. And Werder Bremen gets a point which is HUGE for them. They're still clingin to survival hopes but this win shows they're gettin closer to bein competitive 
.
what a game!! i'm literally shaking my head watching that, 3-1 down and completely asleep at the wheel, and then Frankfurt scores 2 in like 60 seconds... 
Knauff's goal was insane, I've never seen anything like it! Werder Bremen should be so proud of themselves for not getting smashed after being 3 goals down, that's some serious mental toughness. 
. It's all about the positives, right? 
! They need to work on their defense ASAP, 'cause if they can't keep the score low, they're gonna get relegated 
. And Werder Bremen, yeah, I'll give them credit - that new management is starting to pay off 
. But for Frankfurt, this draw just shows how far behind they are from safety 
. 3-1 in their own stadium? That's a nightmare 
!
. Can't say I'm surprised the match was played at the Millerntor Stadium tho - Bremen's always been a weird and wonderful place to play football 
!
! I mean, it's not like they beat a top-tier team or anything, but extending that unbeaten run away from home is no easy feat. They've clearly got some momentum going for them under new management, and I'm curious to see how this carries over into the new year.
