Borussia Dortmund crush Wolfsburg to restore 11-point lead in Bundesliga

Dazzling Borussia Dortmund restored an 11-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga on Saturday, charging past hosts VfL Wolfsburg 3-0 for their 10th win in 11 away games this season.   

Bayer Leverkusen, second on 39 points, had briefly cut the gap to eight on Friday but goals from Lucas Barrios and Nuri Sahin either end of the first half and another from Mats Hummels made sure Dortmund kept up their title run with their 16th win in 20 games. 

Bayern Munich came from a goal down to edge past Werder Bremen 3-1 in the north-south derby to move up to third place on 36 for the first time this season.   

Bremen struck two minutes after the restart, taking a well-deserved lead when Per Mertesacker was left unmarked at the edge of the box to slot home.  

Dutchman Arjen Robben sneaked in to level with his second goal in two games, Mertesacker fired into his own net and substitute Miroslav Klose, a former Bremen striker, sealed Bayern's win four minutes from time.   

Bremen's misery was complete when keeper Tim Wiese was sent off in the 88th minute for a rough challenge on Thomas Mueller.
