Augsburg's dominant victory brought them to the top of the Bundesliga table after two matches, the first time the club, who were promoted to the top flight in 2011, have ever ended a round in first position.

Bayern Munich's surprise scoreless draw at Schalke on Saturday meant their 67-matchday streak atop the Bundesliga table came to an end after more than two years.

Augsburg won thanks to goals from Arijon Ibrahimovic, Robin Fellhauer, Alexis Claude Maurice and Fabian Rieder after Jonathan Burkardt had opened the scoring for the hosts.

Earlier on Sunday, Mainz cantered to a 5-0 win at Hamburg, with Phillip Tietz bagging a brace and Sheraldo Becker, Phillipp Mwene and Ransford Koenigsdoerffer scoring for the visitors.
