Borussia Dortmund went top of the Bundesliga after a 4-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt, making the most of Bayern Munich's earlier 3-1 loss at Mainz on Saturday.

A double from Dutch forward Donyell Malen and goals by English teenager Jude Bellingham and veteran Mats Hummels claimed the three points for Dortmund, setting up a knife-edge title race with just five games remaining.

Dortmund, chasing their first league title in a decade, now have a one point lead over Bayern.
