BAYERN Munich pulverized Hanover 96 7-0 with an Arjen Robben hat-trick to maintain its two-point lead at the top of the German Bundesliga and keep its treble chances on track with three league games left.
Bayern, also in the German Cup final, put on a fearsome performance ahead of Wednesday's Champions League semifinal against France's Olympique Lyon, scoring six goals in 62 minutes against relegation-threatened Hanover.
Ivica Olic, winger Robben and Thomas Mueller scored two apiece in just over an hour as the Bavarians struck at will with their opponents in complete disarray. The Dutchman added his third in stoppage time.
Bayern, bidding to become the first German team to win all three titles in the same season, now has 63 points, two ahead of Schalke 04, which had gone top earlier after its 3-1 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach with Ivan Rakitic scoring twice, including a penalty.
Bayer Leverkusen, which had Tranquillo Barnetta sent off for a second booking in the 19th minute, dropped to fourth place on 54 points after losing 1-2 at VfB Stuttgart, thereby putting its Champions League participation in doubt.
Werder Bremen came from 1-2 down to crush host VfL Wolfsburg 4-2 and climb to third place on goal difference, level on points with Leverkusen.
