Bayern Munich stretched their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to eight points after thrashing third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt at Allianz Arena.
Defending champions Bayer Leverkusen had reduced the gap to five points with a 2-0 win at Holstein Kiel on Saturday but Vincent Kompany’s side responded in fine fashion.
After a frustrating 45 minutes Bayern took the lead in the third minute of first-half injury time after excellent link-up play in midfield allowed Leroy Sane to square for Michael Olise – the former Crystal Palace midfielder making no mistake for his seventh league goal of the season.
Sixteen minutes after the break, Bayern doubled their lead as Frankfurt failed to clear a corner and Hiroki Ito reacted fastest to side-foot home from close range.
Jamal Musiala added the third, receiving the ball from Alphonso Davies before dancing his way through the Frankfurt backline and powering a shot past Kevin Trapp.
Substitute Serge Gnabry added a fourth goal in stoppage time, sliding the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Trapp.
Bayern have the chance to move 11 points clear at the top when they make the trip to seventh-placed Stuttgart on Friday night.
