Bayern Munich kept Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title celebrations on hold for at least one more day as the defending champions earned a two nil victory over relegation-threatened Cologne earler today.

England captain Harry Kane and Mathys Tel both hit the post in a frustrating first half for Bayern, who needed one point to avoid conceding the title.

However, goals from Raphael Guerreiro and Thomas Muller sealed victory.

The win leaves bayern 13 points behind Bayer Leverkusen with five games to go.

It means Xabi Alonso’s unbeaten leaders, having played one game less, will be crowned German champions for the first time with victory over Werder Bremen on Sunday .
