Bayern beat Augsburg to go clear of Dortmund

Bayern Munich beat Augsburg in an eight-goal thriller and are now two points clear at the top of the Bundesliga over Borussia Dortmund, who drew 2-2 with rivals Schalke.

Mergim Berisha put Augsburg ahead after two minutes before Joao Cancelo equalised with his first Bayern goal.

Benjamin Pavard netted twice and Leroy Sane headed in for a 4-1 lead. Berisha’s penalty gave Augsburg hope but Alphonso Davies netted for Bayern before Irvin Cardona made it 5-3.

Dortmund missed the chance to go back level on points with Bayern as Edin Terzic’s side were held in the Revierderby.

Third-placed RB Leipzig beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-0 with goals from Timo Werner, Emil Forsberg and Josko Gvardiol.
