Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich thrashed Fortuna Dusseldorf 5-0 to open a 10-point lead over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday evening.
Lucas Hernandez returned in place of Jerome Boateng, giving Bayern a new centre-back pairing following Tuesday's win over Borussia Dortmund.
The runaway leaders wasted no time in stamping authority when a cross from the right saw Mathias Jorgen help Benjamin Pavard's shot into his own net following 15 minutes.
Pavard wasn't to be denied after connecting with a well-weighted delivery from Joshua Kimmich to head home with the half-hour gone amidst the efforts of Florian Kastenmeier.
Bayern were given their first scare of the evening seven minutes to the break, but a timeous block from an unlikely character Leon Goretzka spared the visitors a lifeline.

Robert Lewandowski put the Bavarians on a comfortable pedestal before halftime after initiating and then finishing off a move ten yards from goal.
Bayern were up and running following the break and introduced Mickael Cuisance, who replaced Frenchman Hernandez.
This did not stop the side from going further ahead as Lewandowski got his second after stabbing home a cut-back from Serge Gnabry for his 43rd goal of the season after 50 minutes.
The champions got a fifth goal two minutes later after lackadaisical defending from Fortuna gave Alphonse Davies enough room to glide through to beat Kastenmeier with ease.
Fortuna closed in at the other end when a floating ball from Matthias Zimmermann found Andre Hoffman, who failed to keep his header on target after opening space from the back post.
A few chances propped up either side following the final quarter, but strong saves from Kastenmeier followed by Neuer kept the score-line clear as Bayern sealed a comprehensive win.
