Bayern Munich won an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title after a dramatic final match day on Sunday saw them beat Cologne 2-1 to overtake challengers Borussia Dortmund.

Dortmund came into the game needing a win to gift them the title but were unfortunate as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Mainz.

The point meant that both teams finished level on 71 points but Bayern Munich had a better goal difference than their eternal rivals.

Dortmund's players and fans were left dejected despite coming back from 2-0 down at the break, with Sebastian Haller having a first-half penalty saved.

The Bavarians needed a win and Kingsley Coman settled their nerves early on, putting them into the lead with a superbly curled shot into the top corner.

Cologne earned an 80th minute penalty and Dejan Ljubicic sent keeper the wrong way to level, looking like Dortmund were going to win their first title since 2012.

As news of Cologne's goal filtered into Signal Iduna Park, the crowd burst into a momentary delirium, as fans cheered and hugged each other.

But this was not to be as Jamal Musiala scored a wonderful goal in the 89th minute to snatch the title away to make Bayern champions once again.
