Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich came from behind to beat Borussia Dortmund in a thrilling match and move 11 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
As Bayern became the first side to overcome Dortmund at home in the league, the England striker increased his total to 45 goals in all competitions this season.
After Nico Schlotterbeck’s first goal, Kane, who reached 500 goals in his career this month, struck twice in 16 minutes to give Bayern the lead.
When Daniel Svensson’s thundering volley caused chaos at Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund believed they had taken a point.
However, Joshua Kimmich’s goal three minutes from time put Bayern in the lead and allowed them to win their 14th championship in 15 years.
In the 26th minute, Schlotterbeck put Dortmund ahead when he connected with Svensson’s left-wing free-kick after rising highest in a packed penalty area.
Later in the half, Dortmund had an opportunity to increase their advantage when Maximilian Beier was stopped by the charging Jonas Urbig after Fabio Silva squared the ball to him.
Bayern, with a front three of Luis Diaz, Michael Olise, and Kane, dominated possession in the first half but failed to put Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to the test.
However, after a deft move featuring Kimmich and Serge Gnabry, Kane equalized early in the second half with a poacher’s attempt from inside the box.
After Schlotterbeck floored Josip Stanisic, Kane scored a penalty, his tenth in a Bundesliga season, after both teams had missed chances.
Svensson’s shot past Urbig gave Dortmund a point, but Kimmich virtually put an end to their chances of capturing a first championship since 2012.
