Bundesliga Zesiger sees red, Bayern's championship trophy ever clearer

Bayern Munich mastered the potentially tricky away game in Augsburg with a 3:1 victory and took the lead in the championship race. The winning goal was scored shortly after Cédric Zesiger was shown a yellow card.

FC Bayern continue to keep their distance from champions Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga title race. The Munich side won the Bayern duel at FC Augsburg 3:1 and increased their lead over Granit Xhaka's club to nine points for the time being. However, the victory came at a potentially high price: international Jamal Musiala was forced off injured in the second half.

Shortly before the break, Musiala's equalizer had turned the game around. Goalscorer Harry Kane after an hour with his 23rd goal of the season and Leroy Sané in stoppage time finally made the victory perfect.

Augsburg had initially taken the lead through Dimitris Giannoulis. Cédric Zesiger's performance was unfortunate. The Swiss international was sent off shortly before the 1-2 with a second yellow card, both for fouls. His team-mates were unable to avert the defeat.
