Bayern Munich tightened their grip on a third straight Bundesliga
title after Robert Lewandowski's brace inspired a 3-0 win over Eintracht
Frankfurt at the Allianz Arena.
Coach Pep Guardiola claimed he only had 14 fit players available in
the run up to Saturday's game and named just four substitutes as a
result, but runaway leaders Bayern made light of their injury problems
and were led superbly by Lewandowski
The Pole struck first after quarter of an hour, producing a superb
touch on the edge of the area with his back to goal before turning to
lash home an unstoppable effort.
Mario Gotze crashed a drive against the post just after the hour before Lewandowski doubled his tally with a close-range header.
Only the woodwork denied Lewandowski a hat-trick late on, with Thomas Muller adding a third with a cool slotted finish.
The result boosts Bayern's bid for a domestic and European treble and
leaves them in confident mood ahead of their Champions League
quarter-final first leg with Porto on Wednesday.
