Matchday 27 of the Bundesliga season saw Bayern Munich take another big step in their bid to win the Bundesliga title. While Stuttgart enjoyed a massive win in the relegation battle.

Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga standings to six points as they cruised to a 4-0 win over Union Berlin. Goals from Kingsley Coman, Tanguy Nianzou and Robert Lewandowski (x2) sealed a big win for the defending champions.

Borussia Dortmund could only manage a 1-1 draw away to FC Köln, with Sebastian Andersson canceling out Marius Wolf’s early opener. The Black and Yellows are now all but out of the title race with just seven games left in the season.
