Wolfsburg striker Bas Dost continued his incredible run of form by making it 14 goals in his last nine appearances to help his side defeat Werder Bremen in an eight-goal thriller.
Dutch forward Dost scored twice, as did Daniel Caligiuri, with Maximilian Arnold also scoring for the visitors.
Werder Bremen's goals came from Zlatko Junuzovic, former Wigan striker Franco Di Santo and an own goal by Vieirinha.
Wolfsburg are second in the table after winning their last four league games.
They are eight points behind leaders Bayern Munich and 10 points ahead of third-placed Borussia Monchengladbach.
Dost's fine run of form includes four goals in a 5-4 win at Bayer Leverkusen on 14 February.
He now has 11 goals in six Bundesliga games in 2015.
Only Barcelona's Lionel Messi - 12 goals in nine games - has scored more league goals this calendar year in Europe's top five leagues.
The 25-year-old joined Wolfsburg in July 2012 from Dutch club Heerenveen.
He has represented the Netherlands at Under-21 level but has yet to play for the senior national team.
Dost was called up for a friendly match against Belgium in August 2012 but did not play.
He was linked with a £7m move to Aston Villa in 2012.
