MUNICH (Reuters) - Ten-man Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich stayed in the driving seat to retain their title with a 4-0 home drubbing of Vfb Stuttgart, while Borussia Dortmund lost ground in their quest for a top-four finish after a 2-2 draw at Cologne on Saturday.

An early red card for left back Alphonso Davies spurred Bayern as they scored four times in a 22-minute first-half spell despite being a man down, with Robert Lewandowski grabbing a hat-trick and Serge Gnabry netting the other goal.

The result left Bayern on 61 points from 26 games, four ahead of closest rivals RB Leipzig ahead of a blockbuster clash at the Red Bull Arena on April 3 after the international break. Dortmund stayed fifth on 43 points, four behind Eintracht Frankfurt who gained ground with a 5-2 home rout of Union Berlin after Andre Silva scored twice while Filip Kostic and Timothy Chandler added one each to complement a Robert Andrich own goal.

Haaland showed his predatory skills again in the 90th minute to tap in a low cross from the right but Dortmund were unable to force a final twist as the hosts held on in stoppage time.
