Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry both scored twice as Bayern Munich strengthened their position at the top of the Bundesliga with victory over Cologne.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting opened the scoring before Lewandowski converted Leon Goretzka's pass to make it 2-0.
Ellyes Skhiri reduced the arrears, but Thomas Muller teed up Lewandowski to restore the hosts' two-goal cushion.
Gnabry scored twice in the final 10 minutes to complete a comfortable win.
The victory lifts Bayern two points clear of second-placed RB Leipzig, who recovered from two goals down to beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-2 on Saturday evening.
Poland striker Lewandowski has now scored 28 Bundesliga goals this term - nine more than any other player in the division.
With 11 league games remaining, the 32-year-old is on target to beat Gerd Muller's record of 40 goals in a Bundesliga season, set in 1972.
