Bayern Munich‘s poor run continued after a last-minute equaliser from Dodi Lukebakio to complete his hat-trick earned Fortuna Dusseldorf a 3-3 draw at the Allianz Arena.
The hosts opened the scoring through Niklas Sule and looked in control when Thomas Muller slotted the ball in from outside area to make it 3-1 with his second goal of the game.
But Lukebakio scored twice more to peg Bayern back and leave the defending champions in fifth place, nine points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund.

An Ermin Bicakcic header restored Hoffenheim’s two-goal cushion, but goals from Mathew Leckie and Lazaro ensured the points were shared.
