Bayern Munich crush title rivals Leipzig

Bayern Munich 3 RB Leipzig 0: Bayern Munich flexed their muscles in the Bundesliga’s top-of-the-table clash last night by beating RB Leipzig 3-0 to move three points clear at the top of the standings.

Thiago Alcantara, Xabi Alonso and Robert Lewandowski all struck inside the first 45 minutes, during which Leipzig were also reduced to 10 men with a red card shown to Emil Forsberg.

Although there were no further goals, Bayern’s dominance of the game was never in doubt. Leipzig’s record-breaking start to their first season in Germany’s top flight had put Bayern on alert heading into the game that would determine which of the two sides would finish 2016 on top.
