Bundesliga results: Wolfsburg 0-2 Borussia Dortmund, Saturday, May 23

After beating Schalke last week in the Revierderby, Lucien Favre's men made light work of Wolfsburg on Saturday. Wolfsburg, who had an upturn of form before the league got suspended, fell to a 2-0 defeat after wing-back duo Raphael Guerreiro and Achraf Hakimi scored for the visitors. The home team failed to really test their opponents for much of the game, eventually falling to their eighth defeat of the Bundesliga campaign.

With Bayern Munich looking to maintain their supremacy at the top of the table, Hansi Flick's men played out a 7-goal thriller with Frankfurt. Despite what the scoreline suggests, Bayern dominated Frankfurt for much of the proceedings, with Frankfurt looking to catch the home team on the break. Leon Goretzka opened the scoring for Bayern in the 17th minute before Thomas Muller added another in the first half. The second half of the game saw a frantic start after Robert Lewandowski put his side 3-0 up before Frankfurt pulled back two within the next 10 minutes. Eventually, the league-leaders prevailed after Alphonso Davies and an own goal from Martin Hinteregger secured the win.
