Dortmund's misery continued into the second half as Serge Gnabry stroked home Thomas Muller's cross on the break The goal was checked by VAR for offside against Muller but the German was in his own half when he received the ball Having had one chalked off for offside in the first half, Gnabry finally got his goal with his third league goal this season Sancho dawdled on the ball as Dortmund struggled to clear their lines and he was effortlessly barged off it by Thomas Muller. Mats Hummels then put the ball into his own net from a low cross to confirm another hammering for Dortmund at Bayern Gnabry almost scored a carbon copy a couple of minutes later but this time couldn’t quite stretch to meet Coman’s delivery. It took Dortmund 70 minutes to truly threaten Bayern’s goal, a crucial touch by Javi Martinez ensuring substitute Paco Alcacer wasn’t able to turn home from close range.
