Bayern's efforts paid off in the 67th minute when Kingsley Coman capitalized on a deflection to hammer the 2-1 lead into the roof of the net. Lewandowski sealed the deal in the dying minutes of the game, as he made no mistake to convert a penalty from the spot.

With the result, defending champions Bayern extended their lead atop the standings to six points meanwhile Hannover, who remain winless in the fourth consecutive match, stay on the 10th place.

Hoffenheim bounced back from a two-game losing streak after crushing runner-up Leipzig 4-0 on home soil.

Leipzig controlled the ball in the opening period but it were nonetheless the hosts, who opened the scoring in the 13th minute as Lukas Rupp teed up for Nadiem Amiri, whose low shot found the far post corner.

Hoffenheim remained on the front foot and doubled the lead but Rupp's goal was flagged by reason of an offside position. With the lead behind, Hoffenheim focused on counter attacks meanwhile Leipzig lacked in penetration to pose any threat.

The hosts ensured a bright start into the second half as Serge Gnabry had all time and space to double the lead eight minutes into the second half.

Gnabry remained in the thick of things as he shocked the guests with a lob from the midfield, over Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, to triple the lead in the 62nd minute.

In the closing period, things went from bad to worse for the runner up Leipzig as Mark Uth provided the fourth goal of the afternoon to put the result beyond doubt.
