BERLIN, May 23-- Bayern Munich restored their four-point advantage atop the standings after crushing Eintracht Frankfurt 5-2 at the 27th round in Bundesliga on Saturday. The "Bavarians" staged a powerful performance and established a three-goal lead before the "Eagles" scored twice against the run of the game through Martin Hinteregger. Hansi Flick's men remained unimpressed and added another two goals to seal the victory. The German record champions took the rein from the kick-off and kept Frankfurt's defense busy as Robert Lewandowski, Ivan Perisic and Benjamin Pavard came close in the opening period. Bayern eventually broke the deadlock with 17 minutes into the game when Thomas Muller's pinpoint cross allowed Leon Gortezka to mark the opener into the roof of the net. Germany international Muller got his name on the scoreboard before the break after tapping home Alphonso Davie's square pass from very close range in the 41st minute. After the restart, the German giants put the result beyond doubt as Kingsley Coman's chip found Lewandowski, who nodded home the 3-0 lead with only 45 seconds into the second half. However, Frankfurt shrugged off the shock and reduced the arrears out of the blue as Hinteregger poked home a rebound following a corner to make it 3-1 in the 52nd minute. The Austrian international wasn't done wit the scoring and wrapped up his brace after heading home Sebastian Rode's corner kick only three minutes later. |
