Robert Lewandowski became the most prolific foreign goalscorer in Bundesliga history as Bayern Munich underlined their dominance with 3-1 victory over Freiburg - their 12th successive league victory.

Hans-Dieter Flick's squad have already sealed their eighth consecutive title in the German top flight, but showed no signs of easing the pace as they claimed another decisive victory after an early opener from Joshua Kimmich and a double from Lewandowski - the latter bringing his league goal tally to 33 this season.

Second-placed Borussia Dortmund may not be able to overtake their Bavarian rivals, but still produced a dominant performance to triumph 2-0 over third-placed RB Leipzig and therefore secure both the runner-up spot and Champions League qualification.

Promising young striker Erling Haaland was responsible for both of Dortmund's goals, netting first after 30 minutes and claiming a second in stoppage time.

Already-relegated Paderborn's misery was compounded when they failed to secure three points for a 14th successive fixture when defeated 3-1 by Borussia Monchengladbach.

Gladbach, who are pursuing a top-four finish, took an early lead in the fourth minute after a Patrick Herrmann effort, with a Lards Stindl double then cancelling out an equaliser from Uwe Hunemeier.

Werder Bremen's fate is all but sealed after a 3-1 loss to Mainz left them last-but-one in the table, with a Yuya Osako strike overthrown by goals from Mainz' Robin Quaison, Jean-Paul Boetius and Edimilson Fernandes.

Hoffenheim dominated throughout as they overwhelmed Union Berlin to cruise to an eventual 4-0 victory. Ihlas Bebou, Andrej Kramaric and Moanes Dabour all scored before the half-time whistle, with Christoph Baumgartner sealing the victory in the 68th minute.
