Bayern Munich demolished hosts VfL Bochum 5-1 on Saturday to record their third straight Bundesliga win and move up to second place.
Resurgent Bayern took the lead through Germany striker Mario Gomez, who has now scored in the last four league matches, and Mergim Mavraj’s own goal doubled their lead. Croat Ivica Olic added two more either side of half-time and Danijel Pranjic made it 5-0 before the hosts got a consolation through Christian Fuchs.
