Goal of my life, says Kimmich after win

Munich: Leaders Bayern Munich took a big step to retaining their Bundesliga title by winning 1-0 away from home against second-placed Borussia Dortmund.

Joshua Kimmich’s wonderful chip from 20 yards gave Bayern the lead just before half-time after both sides had efforts cleared off the line.

“It was maybe the most beautiful goal of my life and also very important. Kimmich said.

“I didn’t see him off his line but we were told before the game that Burki stands a bit off his line so I went for it and with a bit of luck it went in.” Dortmund brought on England’s

Jadon Sancho in the second half, but he could not inspire a fightback from his side.

Bayern’s win puts them seven points clear of Dortmund with six games left. Robert Lewandowski nearly doubled Bayern’s advantage late on but shot against the post. Minutes later, he and the rest of the Bayern players were celebrating what could prove to be a big three points in the title race.

“I don’t live in the future the here and now is important,” Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick.
