Bayern Munich 5-1 Eintracht Frankfurt: Bayern win seventh straight Bundesliga title

Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery score in final league game for Bayern as champions pip Borussia Dortmund by two points

Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben scored in their last Bundesliga appearances for Bayern Munich to clinch a record-extending seventh straight league title.

Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga title for a seventh straight season as they held off Borussia Dortmund with a thumping 5-1 final day win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Bavarians, who can secure a domestic double if they beat RB Leipzig in the German Cup final on May 25, have now won the German league title a record 29 times.

With two points separating Bayern and Dortmund going into the final matchday, the Bavarians were in no mood for any mishaps.

In a dominant first half they went ahead through Kingsley Coman after four minutes and missed a bagful of chances to double the lead.

Frankfurt briefly levelled when Sebastien Haller stabbed in on the rebound in the 50th minute but their hopes of a top-four finish lasted only minutes with David Alaba and Renato Sanches netting for the hosts in the 53rd and 58th minutes.
