Dortmund took the lead through Maximilian Beier in the 48th minute but Bayern hit back with two goals in four minutes, before Waldemar Anton equalised for the visitors with 15 minutes remaining.

“We've moved a step closer to the championship and we've shown we can create plenty of opportunities,’ said Bayern veteran Thomas Mueller, who will leave the club after 25 years at the end of the season.

The visitors arrived in Munich sitting nine spots and 27 points behind in the table.

Bayern, enduring an injury crisis, were camped out near Dortmund’s box for almost the entire first half.
