Bayern extends the wait

Raphael Guerreiro and Thomas Muller led Bayern Munich’s 2-0 victory over relegation-threatened Cologne, meaning Bayer Leverkusen will have to wait another day to celebrate their Bundesliga title.

Stuttgart, which is third, followed up with a 3-0 victory once morest Eintracht Frankfurt. Bayern and Stuttgart needed to lose for Leverkusen to win yesterday, but their victories mean Leverkusen will have to wait to claim their first Bundesliga title on their own when they host Werder Bremen today.

Visiting Cologne had two chances to go ahead before Harry Kane’s shot forced Marvin Schwäbe to prevent the goal. Mathys Tel hit the post before halftime.

Bayern winger Kingsley Coman had to go off due to injury early on, a blow ahead of Arsenal’s visit on Wednesday. Guerreiro finally opened the scoring with a fine shot in the 65th minute.

Muller sealed the result on a counterattack in added time.

Bayern cut the deficit to Leverkusen to 13 points, although Xabi Alonso’s team only needs to win today to confirm the title.
