Bayern on a roll in Bundesliga
Print Edition
Arjen Robben scored a hat-trick as Bayern Munich routed Schalke 5-1 on Saturday to extend its Bundesliga lead to 20 points, a record after 23 games.
David Alaba opened the scoring with a deflected freekick in the third minute, Robben chipped in his first in the 15th, Mario Mandzukic’s header made it 3-0 in the 24th, and Robben claimed his second in the 28th, with a fine finish inside the far post.
It was utter dominance from Bayern in the first half, with more than three-quarters ball possession, 409 completed passes to Schalke’s 65, and a successful pass rate of 91 percent.
Bayern stretched its league record unbeaten run to 48 games after its 15th win in a row — also a league record.
Earlier, Borussia Dortmund took advantage of Bayer Leverkusen’s freefall by beating Nuremberg 3-0 at home to move to second.
Leverkusen lost 0-1 at home to Mainz for its fifth consecutive defeat.
