BAYERN MUNICH 3-0 FC SCHALKE: LEWANDOWSKI NETS DOUBLE AND VIDAL CONTINUES HIS SCORING FORM AS THE BAVARIANS MOVES CLOSER TO 4TH SUCCESSIVE LEAGUE WIN

A Robert Lewandowski brace and Arturo Vidal ‘s goal helped Bayern Munich close to within touching distance of a fourth successive Bundesliga crown as they defeated Schalke3-0 at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.

The result means Pep Guardiola’s men can clinch the title as early as next weekend if second-placed Borussia Dortmund fail to beat Hamburg and Stuttgart in their next two matches, coupled with a Bayern triumph at Hertha Berlin on April 23.

The deserved victory rounded off a fine week for the Bavarian giants in which they also progressed to the last four of the Champions League, but they were made to work for the three points by an stubborn Schalke side who kept them at bay for almost an hour.
