Bayern Munich took a massive step towards regaining the Bundesliga title with a 5-0 thrashing of Borussia Dortmund in the Allianz Arena.

Ottmar Hitzfeld's side made a flying start to the game, racing into a four-goal lead within 22 minutes thanks to goals from Lukas Podolski, Ze Roberto and a Luca Toni double.

Andreas Ottl completed the scoring midway through the second half, as Bayern moved a massive ten points clear of Werder Bremen.

A downbeat Dortmund coach Thomas Doll said after the loss: "It was 4-0 after just 25 minutes, which makes me wonder why we bothered coming to Munich.

"We lacked commitment and passion and it turned into a slaughter. None of my players showed their true potential.

"We forgot the basics of the game on the day. I never want to see that from my team again."

In the day's other game Bayer Leverkusen easily saw off Stuttgart 3-0 thanks to two goals from Simon Rolfes and one from Stefan Kiessling.
