LEADERS Bayern Munich set a new German Bundesliga record for the best start to the season with its eighth successive win yesterday, crushing promoted Fortuna Duesseldorf 5-0 to move up to 24 points.
A Mario Mandzukic goal, a Luiz Gustavo's close-range effort in the first half and two second-half goals from Thomas Mueller and Rafinha completed a fruitful afternoon in Duesseldorf as champion Borussia Dortmund slumped to a bitter 1-2 home defeat to Ruhr Valley rival Schalke 04.
Promoted Eintracht Frankfurt kept up its spectacular chase with a 3-1 victory over Hanover 96 to stay five points behind Bayern in second place. Schalke is third on 17 points with fellow Champions League competitor Dortmund in fourth on 12.
Bayer Leverkusen rescued a 2-2 draw against Mainz 05 with Gonzalo Castro scoring in the 84th minute
