Bayern wrote another page in the history books.
Bayern Munich made history in the Bundesliga as they took another big step towards the top with a huge 5-0 victory in St. Paul.

A record-breaking 102nd goal did not come until the 53rd minute, Leon Goretzka curling home a long-range volley after Joshua Kimmich’s free-kick was deflected into his path.
Michael Olise fired home from the edge of the area a minute later, before Nicholas Jackson and Raphael Guerreiro added gloss to the scoreline in a dominant display.

But Nemanja Gudelj headed home a corner in the first half to restore Sevilla’s advantage, which they successfully defended to move three points out of the bottom three. Atletico remain safely within the Champions League qualification places.

Udinese took the lead in the 27th minute when David Bartesaghi inadvertently diverted Arthur Atta’s ball into his own net.
