Bayern roar past Heidenheim with 34th title in clear sight
The table now shows Bayern at the top with 72 points, nine ahead of Bayer Leverkusen who face St. Pauli on Sunday, with four rounds left to play.
With Bayern racing into a three-goal lead after just 36 minutes — courtesy of Harry Kane's precision, Konrad Laimer's drive and Kingsley Coman's flair — there was little doubt about Saturday's outcome.
Joshua Kimmich then took his time before rifling a shot into the corner for 4-0 in the 56th minute as Bayern surged ahead at full throttle in their relentless pursuit of their 34th league crown.

He'd previously been of interest to Rangers who saw a bid kicked out for him earlier in the year. Palma penned a five-year deal at Celtic Park running until 2028. He took some time to get off and running with the Hoops, but did manage to make a decent impact in his first season in Scottish football. Advertisement Palma netted seven goals in 28 Premiership games as Celtic won a league and Scottish Cup double. His second season, however, proved a struggle. Palma fell down the pecking order under Brendan Rodgers and in January, he moved on loan to Olympiacos. Despite being part of a side that went on to win the Greek title, the club decided against buying Palma permanently. Advertisement Having been playing for Honduras at the Gold Club, he wasn't part of Celtic's pre-season tour An exit has always looked likely this summer and now, he's sealed his move away. Humble Celtic star Luis Palma spotted sitting on top deck of bus in city centre Palma has joined Polish champions Lech Poznan but it isn't a permanent departure. He's joined the club on loan for the season ahead. Advertisement He could be thrust straight into European action on Tuesday night with the club in action in Champions League qualifying.

He said: "I am very happy with the move. Advertisement "I'm delighted to be joining my new club and it was all done very quickly. "I spoke with Celtic and it was my decision to look elsewhere. "I don't know too much about the Polish League, except that it's a good league, with big stadiums and big clubs. "I am going to learn a lot about football there. Advertisement "My goal is to play as much as possible and make a good impression. "I spoke to Reinaldo Rueda about the move, but I did so more as a friend."

Tommy Fleetwood didn't receive £120,000 Open prize money after it was sent to wrong person
Tommy Fleetwood saw the funny side after an embarrassing clerical error by the European Tour saw someone else receive his prize money from The Open Championship Tommy Fleetwood didn't receive £120,000 worth of prize money following his T12 finish at The Open Championship back in 2018. The Englishman, 34, is still in search of his first major after securing a T16 at Royal Portrush last week. He was never really in contention, and he went on to card a seven-under par, with Scottie Scheffler instead dominating from the opening round and going on to win his first Claret Jug by a four-shot margin. Fleetwood has come close at the Open in the past, finishing as the runner-up in 2019. That means the tournament has contributed a hefty sum of money to his impressive career total earnings of £23.1million. Yet, the popular Southport-born golfer was once left scratching his head following the Open at Carnoustie after his winnings were accidentally transferred to an American man with the name Thomas Fleetwood. Thomas Fleetwood, a club professional based at Streamstrong Resort in Florida, was born in 1959 and contested the European Senior Tour's qualifying school four times from 2013. Fleetwood, who is also a caddie, told Reuters he had been trying to get in touch with the Englishman. He said: "It was an honest mistake. I tried to get on their senior tour, so they have my [bank] information." The PGA Tour star himself was left more confused than annoyed by the error, as he said: "It looks pretty genuine. They [the European Tour] are looking into it and I'm sure they'll feel pretty bad about it. "It's a funny story. It's just something I don't really look at but I'll get on top of that." Greg Thorner, who posted the screenshot of his friend Thomas' bank account, said: "He played a few European events so the European Tour obviously had some information on him and it must have got mixed up. "I didn't believe him at first but then I watched him log into his account and I was like 'Holy crap'. He was not positive it was the same amount that Tommy won at the Open but we checked and it was. "He immediately contacted the bank and told them you've put money into my account that's not mine and unfortunately the money has already been taken out." The European Tour, now the DP World Tour, said at the time: "This was a clerical error which we are resolving and we apologise for the inconvenience caused to both parties." Fleetwood is set to receive £137,535 for his latest efforts at the Open. He will hope to receive his money without any surprises along the way this time around.

RB Leipzig set new lower asking price for Chelsea and Arsenal target Xavi Simons
Arsenal and Chelsea will be able to sign Xavi Simons for a discounted price if they formalise their interest in the wantaway RB Leipzig star. The Netherlands international has made clear his desire to leave the Bundesliga club this summer. RB's position has been rendered weak following their failure to qualify for European football next season. Simons has just two years left on his contract and with no prospect of a contract extension in the offing, Simons' departure is looking increasingly certain. London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea are carefully monitoring Simons' situation while Bayern Munich are also understood to be in the mix.

The German champions were stunned after missing out on Florian Wirtz who sealed a British record move to Liverpool having opted to leave Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer. RB Leipzig were hoping to make a sizable profit on the €50m (£41.8m) they spent to sign the player earlier this year but, according to Fabrizio Romano, the creative midfielder will now be available for under €70m. Whether that will be a valuation that would tempt Barcelona back into the mix remains to be seen. On Thursday, Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, met with Simons' brother Faustino and the midfielder's advisor, Ali Barat, at a hotel in the city. Barca are unlikely to be able to finance a deal if they were required to compete with the Bundesliga giants and have already seen a move for Nico Williams fall through earlier in the window. In any case, Simons is, according to Bild, minded to join an English side to continue his development having endured something of a nomadic career to this point. The 22-year-old already has the names of Paris Saint-Germain, where he had two different spells, PSV and Leipzig on his CV. More Trending Arsenal have made just one attacking signing so far this summer with Noni Madueke having completed his move from Chelsea last week. A move for Viktor Gyokeres is still hanging in the balance while little progress has been made on a reported move for Eberechi Eze. Real Madrid's Rodrygo is said to remain on Arsenal's radar but his wage demands are likely to prove prohibitive. Chelsea, for their part, have signed two strikers already in Joao Pedro and Liam Delap but are seeking further reinforcements.
