Bayern Munich are on the brink of a seventh successive Bundesliga title after Roman Buerki's disastrous goalkeeping error saw Borussia Dortmund throw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Werder Bremen and slip four points behind the league leaders on Saturday.

Buerki's error and a goal from Claudio Pizarro sealed a perfect afternoon for Bayern, after club stalwarts Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben earlier returned from injury to help them to a 3-1 victory over bottom club Hanover.

Dortmund, who were nine points ahead of Bayern in December, must now make up a four-point deficit in the last two games of the season.

Christian Pulisic opened the scoring for Dortmund after just six minutes with a brilliant solo goal, before Paco Alcacer doubled the lead with a fizzing free-kick.

With Dortmund in full control on 70 minutes, Buerki allowed Bremen back into the game when he let Kevin Moehwald's tame shot through his legs, and former Bayern star Pizarro scored a shock equaliser moments later.
