Thomas Muller opened the scoring, as Bayern Munich won their fifth consecutive win

Bayern Munich extended their lead at top of Bundesliga table with a win at Greuther furth. Despite playing almost all of the second-half with only 10 men, it was a convincing win.

Thomas Muller opened scoring, before Joshua Kimmich doubled their advantage.

Bayern were down to 10 men following the break, when Benjamin Pavard was sent on. But they added a third goal through Sebastian Griesbeck's own goal.

Furth scored late, but Bayern moves three points clear from Wolfsburg.

The champions have won their fifth consecutive victory, in an exciting run that has seen them score 29 goals in six of their most recent games across all competitions.

Bayern's only negative was Robert Lewandowski failing to match Gerd Muller’s consecutive goals record.

The Polish striker had scored in 15 of his league matches and was close to drawing level with Muller on 16. However, Bayern's third goal was awarded as an own goal by Griesbeck.
