• Relive the action as Bayern Munich win at Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund, unbeaten in the league since 1 April before Saturday, went close through Donyell Malen while veteran Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer produced a fine save to keep out Marco Reus.

But the damage was done in the opening minutes when Dortmund were blown away by Bayern’s lightning start.

The only negative on an otherwise perfect day for Bayern came in the 43rd minute when boss Thomas Tuchel was booked for arguing with the officials.

Tuchel’s side are second in the table, two points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen who won 3-2 at Hoffenheim.

Meanwhile, fourth-placed Dortmund – who are home to Newcastle United in the Champions League on Tuesday (17:45 GMT) – are seven points off the top.
