Bayern Munich give up late lead to suffer fresh title blow
Dier focused on football after Bayern Munich deal made permanent
Eric Dier says he can focus on his football and the team now that his six-month loan deal from Tottenham has been made permanent.
SC Freiburg forward Lucas Höler scored an 87th-minute goal on Friday to snatch a 2-2 draw against visitors Bayern Munich, whose Bundesliga title hopes suffered a further blow.
The result left champions Bayern, who have 54 points from 24 league matches, seven behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who can 10 points clear with 10 games remaining with a win over Cologne on Sunday.

Bayern, preparing to host Italy's Lazio in their Champions League round of 16 second leg next week, suffered a nightmare start to their record 2,000th Bundesliga game with the hosts finding spaces to attack.
The Bavarians had keeper Manuel Neuer to thank for keeping them in the game with a string of outstanding saves early in the first half.
Freiburg took their chances against a crisis-hit Bayern, who will part ways with coach Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season, and were rewarded with a 12th minute lead.
Neuer first spectacularly palmed a Roland Sallai header away, then saw the Hungarian's rebound bicycle kick bounce off the post before Christian Günter rifled in.
The hosts had half a dozen chances to score again in a strong half hour before Bayern hit against the run of play with an unstoppable long-range shot from Mathys Tel in the 35th.
The visitors looked sharper after the break and came close with Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane before the former launched a solo run down the left, cut into the box and curled a low shot past the Freiburg keeper to compete their comeback.
Freiburg, however, struck in the 87th with Holer bagging the late equaliser after a fine turn and shot in the box. Bayern have now managed just one win from their last four league games.
