Bundesliga: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1 - 3 Bayern Munich

-

Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table with a straightforward win at Greuther Furth.

Thomas Muller opened the scoring before Joshua Kimmich doubled their advantage.

Bayern were reduced to 10 men after the break when Benjamin Pavard was sent off, but they added a third through a Sebastian Griesbeck own goal. Furth did score a consolation late on but Bayern move three points clear of Wolfsburg.

Bayern are in great form at the moment and have scored 29 goals in their last six games in all competitions. Very few people would bet against them retaining their Bundesliga crown.

This is what the Bayern manager had to say after the victory. He is obviously happy that his side have built on their impressive start to the season and will be looking forward to them returning to Champions League action during the week.

 This fan did have a negative take on the game. Do you agree with him?

1. Lewandowski is gradually becoming very selfish

2. Bayern are still struggling to get the perfect defense pairing

3. Blind backward passes to the goalkeeper, will hunt Bayern, this season.

4. Sule is a Centre Back, the club should help him, develop to his strength.

Ultimately, the only negative for Bayern was Robert Lewandowski's failure to equal Gerd Muller's consecutive goals record. The Polish legend had previously scored in his last 15 league matches, and nearly drew level with Muller on 16 but Bayern's third was awarded as a Griesbeck own goal.

SpVgg Greuther Fürth remain bottom of the table and their fans will be anticipating a long battle against relegation.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)
