BAYERN MUNICH WIN, DORTMUND STUMBLE

Arturo Vidal and Douglas Costa struck as Bayern Munich disposed of Borussia Moenchengladbach 2-0 on Saturday to claim their first win in three Bundesliga matches and power three points clear at the top.

Ancelotti’s team have 20 points, three ahead of Hertha Berlin who edged past Cologne 2-1 with goals from Vedad Ibisevic and Niklas Stark either side of Anthony Modeste’s equaliser.

“The first half was an outstanding performance of high intensity,” Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti said. “The second half was not as good and Gladbach caused us some problems but we still had full control and defended really well.” Borussia Dortmund slipped to sixth position, six points off the pace, after needing a late equaliser from Christian Pulisic to salvage a 3-3 draw at Ingolstadt 04.
