German champions Bayern Munich has extended their unbeaten Bundesliga record to 44 games on Sunday with a 5-0 rout of Eintracht Frankfurt at their home Allianz Arena, which re-opened a 13-point advantage at the top.

A 71,000 capacity crowd at the stadium witnessed another masterclass for last season's treble winners, which has left them with 53 points after 19 games, and their third win since returning from the midwinter break.

According to CNN, Mario Goetz put Bayern ahead in the 12th minute with a superb volleyed effort and Franck Ribery doubled the advantage just before the break, following which Arjen Robben scored the third shortly after coming on as a substitute.

 

Defender Dante added a fourth with 20 minutes to go and Mario Mandzukic rounded off the rout with a fifth.

With the domestic league title all but wrapped up, the big test for Pep Guardiola's men is their defense of the Champions League title and a last 16 clash with English Premier League rivals Arsenal, which beat Crystal Palace 2-0 on Sunday, later this month, the report added.
