Runaway leaders Bayern Munich appeared to barely break sweat in a 4-0 win at Hanover to chalk up their 14th Bundesliga win in a row yesterday, leaving them a huge 19 points clear at the top.
The defending champions, unbeaten in their last 47 league matches, look well-placed to beat last season’s record when they wrapped up the title with six matches to spare.
Thomas Mueller scored twice while Thiago Alcantara and Mario Mandzukic helped themselves to one piece in an embarrassingly one-sided affair watched in near silence by a demoralised 49,000 crowd.
