BAYERN MUNICH 1 :: 1 Borussia Monchengladbach
Serdar Tasci (grounded) initially claimed Bayern's goal but didn't get a touch to Thomas Muller's header from a sixth-minute corner
Bayern Munich must wait to secure a record fourth successive Bundesliga title after being held to a 1-1 draw by Borussia Monchengladbach.
A win would have made Bayern champions for the 26th time but that was denied them by Andre Hahn's equaliser, driven low into the net 18 minutes from time.
Thomas Muller headed Bayern in front with a 20th league goal of the season.
Borussia Dortmund beat Wolfsburg 5-1 to move five points behind Bayern with two games left.
Bayern face a local derby at Ingolstadt next weekend before playing Hannover at home in their final game.

One of those was the return of Muller. Bayern had won 51 consecutive league games in which the Germany international has scored but Hahn's fifth goal of the season ended that run.
