October 16, (THEWILL) –Â Bayern Munich thrashed Freiburg 5-0 to overtake the visitors into second place in the Bundesliga to the relief of manager, Julian Nagelsmann.
For the third time in their history of playing Freiburg in the Bundesliga, Bayern trailed their opponents at the start of this match by two points, a sign of their inconsistent play this year.
However, the Bundesliga champions maintained their impressive home record against Freiburg with a blowout at the Allianz Arena thanks to goals from Serge Gnabry, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Leroy Sane, Sadio Mane, and Marcel Sabitzer.
With this victory, Bayern has now taken 20 victories and three draws from their 23 meetings in Munich, remaining unbeaten against the Bundesliga opponents they faced on Sunday.
Bundesliga leaders Union Berlin are now only four points ahead of the Bavarian giants. Meanwhile, Freiburg’s 11-game unbeaten streak comes to an end as they suffer their first away loss of the year. Bayern’s next game is a trip to Augsburg in the DFB-Pokal in midweek, while Freiburg host St. Pauli also.
