6' OFF THE POST! Dahoud almost scores
10' GOAL! Bayern 1-0 Dortmund (Hummels)
BVB do not learn their lesson as their former player Hummels, who glanced wide from a corner a minute or so into the match, strolls into the six-yard box, outjumps everyone else and sends his header past Burki down the middle.
17' GOAL! Bayern 2-0 Dortmund (Lewandowski)
Zagadou has been guilty of a couple of errors already today, and he is punished for his latest mistake. The young centre-back passes the ball straight to Lewandowski, who lifts the ball over Burki 25 yards from goal and slots the ball into an unguarded net. That is 200 Bundesliga goals for the striker. Should Burki have stayed on his line?
19' CROSSBAR! Muller almost scores
31' Excellent save from Burki!
41' GOAL! Bayern 3-0 Dortmund (Martínez)
Bayern seal the three points before half-time through a well-taken strike from Martinez. Muller peels off his man to volley Thiago's free-kick on target. Burki, Dortmund's best player, keeps out the shot but it is worked to Martinez on the edge of the box, and he picks his spot through a sea of bodies.
41' GOAL! Bayern 4-0 Dortmund (Gnabry)
This is incredible!! Bayern are sending out a message today, that is for sure! The hosts have themselves a fourth goal and we have played just 43 minutes. Muller's cross is met by the head of an onside Gnabry, who has time and space to guide it out of Burki's reach. Dortmund's players are looking at one another, wondering who was supposed to be picking up who.
88' GOAL! Bayern 5-0 Dortmund (Lewandowski)
The champions have a fifth goal as Gnabry gets in behind and squares the ball for Lewandowski to tap into an empty net from three yards. This is now a proper rout.
Match Report
Robert Lewandowski scored his 200th and 201st Bundesliga goals as Bayern Munich roared back to the top of the Bundesliga with a 5-0 mauling of Borussia Dortmund.
Lucien Favre's side arrived at Allianz Arena with a two-point lead at the top of the table but the momentum behind their title bid was ripped away in a devastating first half in the 100th league edition of Der Klassiker.
Mats Hummels made the first incision with a commanding header and Lewandowski, a fellow former Dortmund star, reached his scoring milestone with a superb solo effort seven minutes later.
Javi Martinez and Serge Gnabry assured Bayern's ascendancy to top spot by adding two more in almost as many minutes late in the opening period and Poland international Lewandowski fittingly completed the rout in the 89th minute as the champions took a big step towards retaining their crown.
