Nov 1 (Reuters) - Eintracht ⁠Frankfurt got off to a fast start ⁠thanks to an own goal and ended up ‌witha 3-1 home win overHamburg on Sunday that puts them back in the early hunt for the European places in ​Germany's Bundesliga.

Hamburg defender WarmedOmari turned the ⁠ball into his ⁠own net to give Frankfurt the lead in the ⁠10th ‌minute, but forward Terem Moffi levelled four minutes later when he rattled home a ⁠pass from Danish midfielder AlbertGronbaek.

That was as ​good as ‌it got for the visitors as RaphaelOnyedika scored ⁠for Frankfurt ​just after the break, and Fares Chaibi had a goal chalked off following a VAR review before ⁠YounesEbnoutalib lashed the ball into the ​net to complete the scoring in the 69th minute.

The result puts Frankfurt in eighth place on 11 points, ⁠two behind sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen with eight games played, while Hamburg are 15th on nine points.

Earlier, Union Berlin secured a 1-1 draw at home to ​Cologne that moved them out ⁠of the bottom two, Janik Haberer getting the ​goal in their first stalemate of ‌the season to leave them ​on seven points, one ahead of Schalke 04.
