Bayern Munich ease past Dortmund to extend lead, RB Leipzig second 
Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 to go four points clear at the top of the table. Arjen Robben opened the scoring before Robert Lewandowski made it 2-0. The Poland striker almost claimed a second but it went to David Alaba, before Marc Barta got one back for the home side. However, Dortmund now slip to third. Earlier, RB Leipzig hit back against Hannover to clinch a 2-1 win and move up to second place. The hosts bounced back from their defeat to Bayern Munich to win the battle between third and fourth. The victory took Leipzig two points clear of Borussia Dortmund and, with Peter Bosz's out-of-sorts sides taking on Bayern in the late kick-off, left them with a good chance of finishing the weekend in second spot.
Newly-promoted Hannover looked like they might be the ones to close the gap at the top when Jonathas broke the deadlock in the 56th minute, taking one touch to control a low cross from the right and then finishing smartly. But the hosts levelled with 20 minutes to go through Yussuf Poulsen's far-post tap-in and won it in the 80th minute when Emil Forsberg stretched superbly to reach a long ball and turn it across goal and Timo Werner stabbed it home.
Defeat for Hannover allowed Schalke to leapfrog them into fourth thanks to a 1-0 win at Freiburg, with Daniel Caligiuri scoring a 62nd-minute winner.
Freiburg dropped into the bottom three as Hamburg saw off 10-man Stuttgart 3-1.
The visitors got off to a terrible start when Dzenis Burnic was sent off for two bookings inside the opening 12 minutes and Aaron Hunt put Hamburg ahead eight minutes later.
Daniel Ginczek equalised from the spot 10 minutes into the second half, but two goals in the space of five minutes from Filip Kostic and Jann-Fiete Arp saw Hamburg home.
Jannik Vestergaard's 67th-minute equaliser earned a point for Borussia Monchengladbach in a 1-1 draw at home to Mainz, for whom Abdou Diallo opened the scoring.
Augsburg and Bayer Leverkusen also drew 1-1. Kevin Volland put Leverkusen ahead in the 47th minute, but Kevin Danso equalised two minutes later.
