The win stretches a nine-point cushion, putting club and individual scoring records within reach.
Overview
- Serge Gnabry scored twice, with Harry Kane and Michael Olise also on target in a 4-0 victory over Union Berlin.
- Kane’s strike was his 31st league goal, leaving seven matches to chase Robert Lewandowski’s single-season record of 41.
- Bayern’s tally rose to 97 goals after 27 rounds, closing on the club record of 101 from 1971-72, which sporting director Christoph Freund said will fall.
- Vincent Kompany’s rotated lineup handled suspensions to Nicolas Jackson, Luis Diaz and Jonathan Tah and injuries to Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Manuel Neuer, as 16-year-old Erblin Osmani debuted.
- Attention turns to an April trip to SC Freiburg and a Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Real Madrid, after Union officials conceded they were comprehensively outplayed.
