Confident Bavarians ease past the relegations fighting Arminia

After overcoming Arminia Bielefeld 3-0 to bag a fourth straight league win at the SchücoArena in a mainly one-sided clash, reigning champions Bayern Munich have put themselves in prime position to win their tenth successive Bundesliga title. The Bavarians want to prepare for a looming Klassiker showdown with their only remaining title rivals Dortmund in ideal fashion and also – forget their shock UEFA Champions League exit as soon as possible. Arminia Bielefeld were exactly what the doctor ordered.The home team were winless in their last six Bundesliga games and it came as no surprise that Bayern started on the front foot, with their top-scorer Robert Lewandowski coming close to adding to his 32 Bundesliga goals this season. However, the Pole was amazingly denied by Stefan Ortega between the posts of Arminia’s goal.Moments later, Lewandowski was involved in Bayern inevitably taking the lead – the Polish striker got on the end of Alphonso Davies’ cross, turning it in off Jacob Barrett Laursen for an unfortunate own goal.The hosts responded well to the conceded goal as Patrick Wimmer and Masaya Okugawa had chances but their attempts went narrowly wide. Okugawa also got on the end of a hopeful long ball to poke the ball over Manuel Neuer and into the net. Luckily for Bayern, it was ruled out for offside.On the other end, right on the stroke of halftime, ​​Serge Gnabry had a goal ruled out due to the same reason, but after a VAR review – the goal was given to make it 2-0.After the restart, Arminia started the brighter of the two sides and missed a string of chances – especially Amos Pieper, who was guilty of missing Bielefeld’s best chances.Bayern’s defence looked uncharastically disjointed, given the fact that they are a side that had conceded the fewest amount of goals in the Bundesliga this season. But it did not matter for the table-toppers as Jamal Musiala sealed all three points for the visitors – the youngster capped off a stunning counterattack by getting on the end of Lewandowski’s cross to poke home.History now beckons for Bayern, and all eyes will be on the Allianz Arena in the next Bundesliga round, as Die Roten look to make it a perfect decade as the kings of Germany. Meanwhile, the loss for Bielefeld leaves them in a perilous position, sitting four points from safety with only four games remaining.BUNDESLIGA – ROUND 30SaturdayDortmund – Wolfsburg 6-1 (5-0) /Rothe 24, Witsel 26, Akanji 28, Can 35, Haaland 38, 54 – Baku 82/Freiburg – Bochum 30 (2-0)/Kubler 5, Sallai 16, 53/Augsburg – Hertha 0-1 (0-0)/Selke 49/Mainz -Stuttgart 0-0M’gladbach – Koln 1-3 (0-3)/Modeste 5, Kainz 20, Ljubicic 34 – Embolo 85/Sunday Bielefeld – Bayern 0-3 (0-2)/Laursen 10 og, Gnabry 45+7, Musiala 85/18.30: (2.29) Union Berlin (3.30) Eintr.Frankfurt (3.40)18.30: (1.32) Hoffenheim (6.00) Greuther Furth (10.0)20.30: (3.10) Leverkusen (3.50) RB Leipzig (2.47)***odds are subject to change
