BERLIN -- Bayer Leverkusen reclaimed fourth place in the Bundesliga with a 4-1 with at relegation-threatened Nuremberg and Stuttgart eased its relegation fears with a 3-1 win over Schalke on Sunday. In Nuremberg, Emir Spahic opened the scoring with Leverkusens first shot on target in the 16th, only for Marvin Plattenhardt to equalize eight minutes later with a direct free kick from 25 metres (yards). Omer Toprak set up Sebastian Boenisch for Leverkusens second goal in the 48th and Heung-min Son ran the length of the pitch after a Nuremberg corner for Spahic to seal the win with 10 minutes remaining. "He never scored a goal in top-flight football before so congratulations to him," Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voeller said. There was still time for Roberto Hilbert to add another in the 87th, as Leverkusen reclaimed the last Champions League qualification spot from Wolfsburg, which had provisionally gone ahead on Saturday. "Borussia Dortmund next week will be another calibre," Voeller said after the sides second consecutive win under interim coach Sascha Lewandowski. "Then well see if weve really turned the corner." The result left Nuremberg second from bottom, one point above Eintracht Braunschweig, with three games to play. The bottom two are automatically relegated. "We simply dont have the quality at the moment to win matches like this," Nuremberg goalkeeper Raphael Schaefer said after his sides eighth defeat from nine games. "In the end we didnt even believe in ourselves anymore." Martin Harnik scored twice for Stuttgart to move four points clear of Hamburger SV in the relegation play-off place. "We took a step today but there are still steps to be taken," said Stuttgart coach Huub Stevens, who previously had two stints in charge at Schalke. Harnik opened the scoring with a header from Daniel Didavis well-delivered free kick in the 23rd. Cacau should have made it 2-0 in the 37th but he was unable to direct Ibrahima Traores cross on target with the goal at his mercy. But he did score in the 54th, with a header inside the far post following another good cross from Traore. Five minutes later, Gotoku Sakai breezed past Kaan Ayhan to set up Harnik for Stuttgarts third. Adam Szalai pulled back what proved to a consolation in the 69th. Cheap Celtics Jerseys .
