In-form Ellyes Skhiri scored a second-half brace as Koln stunned Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 at home in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Skhiri’s goals, coming from a header and a half-volleyed smash, took the Tunisia midfielder to five league goals for the calendar year, the most in the Bundesliga. Frankfurt had the better of the first half and almost scored twice through man-of-the-moment Randal Kolo Muani. Gänsehaut 😍😍😍___#KOESGE #effzeh pic.twitter.com/kG5xYegmBU— 1. FC Köln (@fckoeln) February 12, 2023 The France striker’s shot was intercepted after 24 minutes and he had a chance to open the scoring with 39 minutes gone but was thwarted thanks to some desperate defending from Julian Chabot. Koln broke the deadlock early in the second half through centre-back Timo Huebers, who headed in a cross from Austrian midfielder Florian Kainz. Koln doubled their lead with 20 minutes to go through Skhiri, who headed in a fortunate rebound from another home side counter attack. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7013820##Skhiri added another in the 86th minute, driving in a half-volley from near the penalty spot for his fifth goal of 2023 in all competitions. The victory took Koln, who resumed after the winter break near the relegation places, up to 11th. Frankfurt, who came into the match unbeaten in 2023, missed the chance to climb into the top four and now sit sixth after 20 matches.BUNDESLIGA – Matchday 20FridaySchalke 04 – Wolfsburg 0-0SaturdayHoffenheim – Bayer 04 Leverkusen 1-3 (0-1)/N’Soki 77 – Andrich 6, Diaby 46, Hlozek 56/Mainz 05 – Augsburg 3-1 (2-1)/Lee 21, 52, Onisiwo 24 – Demirovic 28/Bayern München – Bochum 3-0 (1-0)/Muller 42, Coman 64 Gnabry 73(p)/Freiburg – Stuttgart 2-1 (0-1)/Grifo 60(p), 84(p) – Fuhrich 30/Werder Bremen – Borussia Dortmund 0-2 (0-0)/Bynoe-Gittens 67, 85/Leipzig – Union Berlin 1-2 (1-0)/Henrichs 24 – Haberer 61, Knoche 72 pen/SundayHertha BSC – Borussia M’gladbach 4-1 (1-1)/Ngankam 30, Dardai 52, Scherhant 90+1, Lukebakio 90+7 – Elvedi 17/FC Koln – Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 (0-0)/Hubers 49, Skhiri 71, 86/
