BERLIN, March 11 (Xinhua) -- Bayern Munich extended their lead in the table after beating Frankfurt 3-0, while Leipzig and Dortmund suffered defeats at the 24th round in Bundesliga on Saturday.

Robert Lewandowski's brace helped front-runners Bayern to edge resilient Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 and to reap their third win in row.

However, it was a stiff piece of work to overcome the "Eagles", who gave the visitors a hard time especially in the opening period.

Frankfurt grabbed a good start into the game and almost broke the deadlock through Danny Blum, who forced goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to make a save.

The hosts reaped another chance as Branimir Hrgota rounded Neuer before defender Mats Hummels' last-second tackle retained Bayern from a setback with 19 minutes played.

Frankfurt paid the price for their wastefulness in the 38th minute when Robert Lewandowski capitalized on Thomas Mueller's assist to mark the opener right footed from close range.

The German giants doubled their lead only three minutes later after Douglas Costa made use of David Alaba's build-up play to volley home the two-goal lead.

Carlo Ancelotti's men continued with their clinical chance conversion after the restart as Lewandowski sealed his brace to score his 21st goal of the season putting the result beyond doubt in the 55th minute.

With the result, Bayern extended their lead to 10 points atop the standings, while Frankfurt, who suffered their fifth loss in row, slumped to seventh place.
