BERLIN (Reuters) - VfB Stuttgart scored three times in 26 first-half minutes to ease past visitors Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 on Saturday and remain third in the Bundesliga, level on points with second-placed Bayern Munich with five games remaining.

Stuttgart top scorer Serhou Guirassy put the hosts in front after 11 minutes with his 25th league goal of the season, a club record.

Stuttgart are on 63 points along with Bayern Munich. RB Leipzig are fourth on 56. Leaders Bayer Leverkusen, on 76, will secure their first league title with a win over Werder Bremen on Sunday.
