Bayern Munich moves a step closer to an 8th consecutive league title with a crushing 5 nil victory over visiting Fortuna Dusseldorf on Saturday evening to temporarily op3en a 10-point gap over 2nd place Borussia Dortmund who had a Sunday evening fixture at SC Paderborn 07.
The Bavarians followed up a crucial title-winning, 1-nil victory over fierce rival Dortmund on Tuesday with another stellar performance over Fortuna at the Allianz Arena to consolidate their one-handed grip on the title with 5 matches to go.
Bayern was 1 nil up 15 minutes into the kick-off when Fortuna centre-half Mathias Joergensen put the ball into his own net and just before the half-hour mark Bayern double their advantage when right full-back Benjamine Pavard headed home a Joshua Kimmich corner kick. Robert Lewandowski weighed in on the action with a goal in each half (43' & 50'), his 2nd goal a delightful backheel. Pacey Left full-back Alphonso Davies(52') continued his outstanding run of form with a well-worked goal to complete the rout.
Bayern now tops the Bundesliga table with 67 points from 29 games played and a goal difference of 58. Although Dortmund's 6-1 win at Paderborn cut Bayern's lead back to 7 points, 3 more wins from the games left will secure Bayern's 29th Bundesliga triumphs, safe to say Bayern's only threat to winning the league title is their self.
Thank you for your time.
