Serge Gnabry scored a brace and Harry Kane was also on target as runaway leaders Bayern Munich trounced Union Berlin 4-0 on Saturday and moved within four of their 54-year-old scoring record of 101 goals in one season.

Michael Olise was also on target as Bayern reached 97 goals. With seven games left it is only a matter of when, not if, the record from 1971-72 will fall. Bayern's first chance comes after the international break on April 4 in Freiburg.

Bayern moved 12 points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top, with Dortmund playing the late game against SV Hamburg.

Elsewhere, Cologne's Eric Martel scored the 3-3 equalizer and was sent off two minutes later in a turbulent 100th top flight Rhine derby against Borussia Mönchengladbach that saw four goals in the opening 20 minutes and Gladbach's Jens Castrop score a brace against his former club.

Also in the lowlands, the troubles of second last Wolfsburg grow in the form of a 1-0 home defeat against Werder Bremen from Justin Njinmah's winner. Wolfsburg had Moritz Jenz dismissed in stoppage time.

Bottom club Heidenheim came from 2-0 and 3-2 down to draw 3-3 with Bayer Leverkusen with the help of a Marvin Pieringer brace. The point may be too little for either team as Heidenheim are 11 points from safety and Leverkusen fell behind in their top four bid.

The Sunday games are Mainz v Eintracht Frankfurt, St Pauli v Freiburg and Augsburg v VfB Stuttgart. RB Leipzig rose to third with a 5-0 demolition of top four rivals Hoffenheim on Friday.
