Borussia Dortmund are in pole position to win the Bundesliga for the first time since 2012 after leapfrogging Bayern Munich at the top of the table with a 3-0 win over Augsburg tonight.


The Bavarians, who went into the weekend as leaders, suffered a 3-1 defeat to RB Leipzig last night and Borussia Dortmund took full advantage to move two points clear of their rivals with just one game remaining.

Playing 11 against 10 since Felix Udokhai's red card in the 38th minute, Dortmund broke the deadlock through Sebastien Haller in the 58th minute. Haller later made it 2-0 before Julian Brandt made it 3-0 in stoppage time.

The win means Dortmund need only beat Mainz next week to end Bayern's run of 10 consecutive Bundesliga titles and win the league for the first time in 11 years.
