Bayern Munich 6 Borussia Dortmund 0Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick as Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich demolished the Polish striker’s old club Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena once more. Second-placed Schalke’s win earlier in the day meant Bayern could not seal the title against Dortmund, but they showed no sign of any disappointment as they netted five times before half-time alone. Although the goal was initially allowed to stand, replays showed Rodriguez got a touch on Müller’s cross and Ribery was therefore offside. It was Gonzalo Castro who had failed to track Rodriguez and when the Dortmund midfielder attempted to nutmeg the same player, Bayern broke to score a 23rd-minute third. Lewandowski fed Rodriguez and his perfectly-weighted chip in to Müller allowed the German international to place home a controlled volley.
