Bayern Munich cruised to a 3-1 win over Hamburg SV to go seven points clear in the Bundesliga and stretch their unbeaten run in the league to a staggering 41 games. Read more after the cut......
With Franck Ribery and David Alaba on the bench and Arjen Robben injured, Bayern were initially made to work hard against battling Hamburg, eager to redeem themselves for last season’s 9-2 demolition by Bayern.
Mario Mandzukic struck at the right time when he nodded in after 42 minutes. Mario Goetze’s superb control and volley seven minutes after the restart gave them a two-goal cushion.
Substitute Xherdan Shaqiri added a third with the last kick of the game to secure a 16th straight home league win in 2013 to the delight of the home fans in the 71,000 crowd.
Hamburg had briefly cut the deficit in the 87th minute through Pierre-Michel Lasogga.
This result means the Bavarians will be top of the table at Christmas.
