Lewandowski shines as Bayern extend lead, Dortmund lose again

Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to 13 points courtesy of an easy 3-0 win at home to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Bayern were only able to name three outfield players on the bench due to their crippling injury problems but two goals from Robert Lewandowski put them in firm control.

The Poland international struck a sensational opener after 15 minutes and then headed home for a second after 66 minutes.

Thomas Mueller completed the scoring for Bayern with eight minutes remaining as they took another step towards the Bundesliga title.

With Bastian Schweinsteiger, Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, David Alaba and Medhi Benatia among a spate of injuries, coach Pep Guardiola was only able to name four substitutes but it mattered little.

"I'm very, very proud," said Guardiola whose side visit Porto for a Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday.

"We controlled and dominated...against the third best attack in the Bundesliga."

Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund slumped to another defeat in their miserable season, losing 3-1 at home to third-placed Borussia Moenchengladbach.

Oscar Wendt put Gladbach in front after 29 seconds before Patrick Herrmann produced the highlight of the game, running 50 metres and leaving four opponents in his wake before laying the ball off to Raffael to score into an empty net.

Havard Nordtveit turned in the third after poor Dortmund defending at a corner and Ilkay Guendogan pulled one back for Dortmund.

At the bottom, relegation candidates Paderborn ended a six-match goal drought by beating Augsburg 2-1.

Paderborn leap-frogged Hamburg, who dropped to 17th in the 18-team table after their eighth Bundesliga game without a win and their fifth without scoring as Frenchman Joshua Guilavogui gave Wolfsburg a deserved half-time lead courtesy of his first ever Bundesliga strike and Daniel Caligiuri capped a routine win with a well-taken goal after the interval.
