BERLIN (Reuters) - Hanover 96 edged fellow strugglers Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 away with an attacking display that produced three goals in the first half-hour on Thursday to take a huge step towards staying in the Bundesliga.

Their second straight league win after four consecutive defeats lifted Hanover to 12th place with 35 points, behind Frankfurt on goal difference, and put eight points between them and the relegation playoff spot with three games left.
