Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich will take a four-point lead into Tuesday's top-of-the-table clash with Borussia Dortmund following an entertaining victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
With Dortmund having narrowed the gap at the top to a single point earlier on Saturday, Bayern staged the perfect response, barring one three-minute period.
Leon Goretzka's superb strike and a close-range Thomas Muller finish gave them a 2-0 half-time lead, which Robert Lewandowski added to with a header less than a minute into the second half.
But Frankfurt staged an unlikely fightback, scoring twice in three minutes through defender Martin Hinteregger - the first a mishit volley, the second a header from a corner.
However, any hopes the visitors had of a famous result were dashed when Alphonso Davies capitalised on a defensive mistake to make it 4-2 before Hinteregger bundled the ball over his own line following Serge Gnabry's flick for Bayern's fifth.
