BERLIN, Nov. 4 -- Bayern Munich extended their lead atop the standings after cruising 3-1 past rivals Borussia Dortmund whereas Leipzig came from behind to beat newly promoted Hannover 2-1 in the 11th round in Bundesliga on Saturday.

The German record champions extend Dortmund's winless run to four games as goals from Arjen Robben, Robert Lewandowski and David Alaba wrapped up the fourth straight win in the Bundesliga.

The clash between the top-two teams started evenly balanced. Things changed with 17 minutes though as James Rodriguez' build up work allowed Arjen Robben to mark the opener, and to become Bayern's all-time leading foreign scorer, from inside the box.

Both goalkeepers remained busy in the first half-hour as Sven Ulreich had to deny Andrey Yarmolenko before Roman Buerki was on guard defuse Robert Lewandowski's effort.

Dortmund came close to restore parity when Christian Pulisic rattled the outside of the right post. However, it were the visitors, who cut a better in front of the goal as Joshua Kimmich's low cross found Lewandowski, whose back heel effort doubled the lead in the 37th minute.

The Poland international had the chance to make the game safe after the restart but Roman Buerki's save kept the "BVB" alive. Dortmund missed the chance to reduce the arrears as Yarmolenko squandered Pulisic's brilliant build up with 49 minutes played.

Bayern put the result beyond doubt with 69 minutes when David Alaba's untouched cross into the box found the back of the net and tripled the lead. Nevertheless, Dortmund kept it bowling and was rewarded with their consolation through Marc Bartra in the dying minutes of the game.
