BERLIN (Reuters) - The Bundesliga enjoyed a bumper afternoon of stunning goals and penalty drama on Saturday with Hakan Calhanoglu's viciously swerving 40-metre free kick for Hamburg SV the pick of the bunch.

Borussia Moenchengladbach's Patrick Herrmann and Jonathan Schmid of Freiburg came close with spectacular efforts while history was made at Nuremberg as the game against Eintracht Braunschweig was the first in the league's 51-year history to feature three missed penalties.
