Bayern Thrash Frankfurt to Move Eight
Clear at the Top

Munich, 24 Feb (ONA) — Bayern
Munich stretched their lead at the top of the German Bundesliga to eight points
after thrashing third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt at Allianz Arena.

Defending champions Bayer Leverkusen
had reduced the gap to five points with a 2-0 win at Holstein Kiel on Saturday,
but Vincent Kompany’s side responded in fine fashion.

After a frustrating 45 minutes,
Bayern took the lead in the third minute of first-half injury time after excellent
link-up play in midfield allowed Leroy Sane to square for Michael Olise – the
former Crystal Palace midfielder making no mistake for his seventh league goal
of the season.

Sixteen minutes after the break,
Bayern doubled their lead as Frankfurt failed to clear a corner and Hiroki Ito
reacted fastest to side-foot home from close range, BBC sports reported.

Jamal Musiala added the third,
receiving the ball from Alphonso Davies before dancing his way through the
Frankfurt backline and powering a shot past Kevin Trapp.

Substitute Serge Gnabry added a
fourth goal in stoppage time, sliding the ball through the legs of goalkeeper
Trapp.

Bayern have the chance to move 11
points clear at the top when they make the trip to seventh-placed Stuttgart on
Friday.
