League leaders Borussia Dortmund took a big step towards their first Bundesliga title in nine years yesterday as a 2-0 win over Nuremberg extended their lead at the top to 10 points.

In heavy snow, goals either side of half-time by Germany defender Mats Hummels and Poland striker Robert Lewandowski saw Dortmund, whose last league title came in 2002, pick up their 13th win of the season from 15 matches.

It leaves them on 40 points with a massive goal advantage while second-placed Mainz are on 30 points.

Defending champions Bayern Munich are now 17 points behind the leaders.
