Borussia Dortmund are two wins away from their first title in a decade after RB Leipzig came from behind to win 3-1 away at Bayern Munich on Saturday.
Bayern led 1-0 thanks to an early Serge Gnabry goal and looked in cruise control, but the visitors scored three second-half goals to turn the match, and the Bundesliga title race, on its head.
Dortmund can go two points clear with one matchday remaining with a win on Sunday against Augsburg.
The win, Leipzig’s first in Munich and only their second victory over the German champions, secured the visitors Champions League football next season.

Gnabry settled Bayern’s nerves after 25 minutes, blasting a rising shot in off the left post, his fifth in his past four games.
Bayern looked to take the speed out of the game and exert control, but Leipzig struck against the run of play on the counter after 65 minutes.
Konrad Laimer, widely tipped for a move to Bayern in the summer, took advantage of a superb team move to rocket the ball home.
