Bayern Munich edged closer to the Bundesliga title following a dominant 5-0 rout of relegation-threatened St. Pauli, beIN Sports reports.

Vincent Kompany's side moved 12 points clear at the summit with five games remaining, while they took their goal tally for the Bundesliga season to a staggering 105, setting a new record for a single German top-flight campaign, eclipsing their total of 101 from 1971-72.

Bayern took just nine minutes to break the deadlock at Millerntor-Stadion, with Jamal Musiala heading home from Konrad Laimer's cross.

Musiala also hit the post just before the half-hour mark, before the visitors gave themselves breathing space with two quickfire goals after the restart.

First, Leon Goretzka volleyed in on 53 minutes and, just 75 seconds later, turned provider by feeding Michael Olise for a cool finish.

It was 4-0 in the 65th minute. Musiala also grabbed an assist as he slipped a pass through for Nicolas Jackson, who neatly slotted past Nikola Vasilj in the hosts' goal.

Jackson then turned provider two minutes from time, stealing possession inside the penalty area and teeing up Raphael Guerreiro for a fifth goal.

Goretzka saw a last-gasp header ruled out for offside following a VAR review, but Bayern are now just four points away from completing a successful title defence.
