Serge Gnabry scored twice as Werder Bremen climbed out of the relegation play-off spot with a 2-1 Bundesliga victory at fellow strugglers Wolfsburg on Friday.

The Germany international, who joined Bremen from Arsenal last summer, opened the scoring with a deflected strike from inside the penalty area after 10 minutes.

He then grabbed his second goal eight minutes later, controlling a flick-on from a free-kick on his chest six yards out and volleying the ball home.

Borja Mayoral reduced the deficit back to a single goal a minute later when he bundled the ball in from close range with his chest following a corner.

Wolfsburg should have rescued at least a point as both Daniel Didavi and Mayoral saw efforts hit a post, while visiting goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald made a string of saves.

Bremen move up to 15th in the table, with Wolfsburg one place above them on goal difference.
