Bayern Munich's comeback in Leverkusen inches them closer to the title
Lewandowski's goal

Bayern Munich moved onto 70 Bundesliga points thanks to a 4-2 comeback win over Bayer Leverkusen at the Bay Arena.

Lucas Alario's cool finish in the 10th minute put the home side ahead early on, but this only seemed to wake Bayern up and spur them on.

They turned the screw over the next 20 minutes and eventually netted an equalizer when Kingsley Coman finished well after being sent through on goal by Leon Goretzka.

Gortezka got a goal of his own shortly afterward as he finished a neat team moves to put Bayern ahead before Serge Gnabry chipped Lukas Hradecky for another.

Had it not been for Hradecky, though, the Bavarian side could have gone into the break-even further ahead, but they kept up the momentum after the pause and added a fourth when Thomas Mueller put a lovely lofted ball into the box for Robert Lewandowski to meet with a bullet header.

Moussa Diaby broke through a few times at the other end of the pitch, but the Bayer Leverkusen winger went for goal each time when that perhaps wasn't the best option.

Even though 17-year-old Florian Wirtz scored one for the home side with two minutes remaining, becoming the youngest ever goalscorer in the Bundesliga, the three points went home with champions-in-waiting Bayern Munich.
