German Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich defeated Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 on Saturday, now needing just two victories to win an eighth straight title.

Bayern have lost just one game in their last 21 matches in all competitions, and they trailed at Leverkusen before fighting back to secure all three points.
Kingsley Coman, Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry all netted in the first half following Lucas Alario’s opener.
