Bayern celebrate clear home win against Gladbach

Thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Konrad Laimer, the hosts lived up to their role as favorites before the break, even without injured top striker Harry Kane. Nico Elvedi and his colleagues in defense were under constant pressure.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer remained injured in the dressing room at half-time. Bayern kept up the pace and increased their lead with a penalty through Jamal Musiala. Gladbach's Rocco Reitz had been sent off with a red card immediately beforehand. Nicolas Jackson and Gladbach's Wael Mohya also scored in the closing stages.

While Bayern at least temporarily extended their lead in the table to 14 points, Gladbach are in twelfth place and in danger of relegation. Especially as the competition could still score this weekend.
