Record breaker: Bayern set longest unbeaten run record

Bayern Munich broke the record for the longest undefeated run in Bundesliga history, extending their streak to 37 games with a routine 3-0 win over Augsburg. Goals from Jerome Boateng, Franck Ribery and a late penalty by Thomas Muller strengthened the defending champions’ position at the top of the league table, as Borussia Dortmund suffered defeat at Wolfsburg. Pep Guardiola’s side took just four minutes to break the deadlock, when Boateng’s swiveled half-volley at the back post from an over-hit corner found the top corner of the opposition net. The visitors looked unable to cope with the tempo of Bayern’s game in the opening 10 minutes, but Ribery and Mandzukic passed up chances to make it 2-0, allowing Augsburg the opportunity to relieve some of the pressure and push forward. Bayern Munich’s tempo continued to drop off as the first half progressed but the hosts doubled their advantage just before the break, with Ribery smashing home a freekick on the very edge of the box in emphatic fashion. They just equaled the number of straight consecutive wins in the Champions Leagued earlier this week. Congrats Bayern, thumbs up Guardiola , i can sense more records coming.
