Jadon Sancho struck twice as Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 win over RB Leipzig sealed a ninth Bundesliga title in a row for Bayern Munich.
Leipzig realistically had to win at Dortmund to keep their hopes of catching Bayern alive but were always on the back foot after Marco Reus’ early strike for the hosts and Sancho’s double leaves them seven points adrift with two games remaining.
Bayern can extend their advantage even further when they play Borussia Monchengladbach later on Saturday, before celebrating yet another German league crown.

Dortmund’s win also moves them into fourth and the Champions League qualifying positions, although Eintracht Frankfurt are yet to play this weekend and are two points behind in fifth, ahead of their game with mid-table Mainz on Sunday.
A month out from the Euros, Sancho delivered a reminder to Gareth Southgate of why he can play a key role for England this summer.
