Bayern Munich were utterly ruthless in reclaiming the top of the Bundesliga, thumping Dortmund.
The De Klassiker was a one-sided affair, with Bayern soundly beating their strongest rival, Dortmund, 4-2.
Dortmund were league leaders going into the game and have been on top form; however, they fell like a pack of cards against a Bayern side buoyed by a new manager, Thomas Tuchel.

Dortmund started decently, and the game had an even tone until Gregor Kobel gifted Bayern the lead when he failed to intercept a through-ball from deep which slipped between his legs and into the goal.

It became two only five minutes later. Matthijs De Ligt rose highest to head the ball towards Thomas Muller's path, who bundled it into the net.
The Germany international got his brace five minutes after his first, after another Kobel error. The Dortmund shot-stopper parried a Leroy Sane shot onto the path of Muller, who graciously accepted the invitation to put the visitors 3-0 ahead.
