Eintracht Frankfurt 0 Bayern Munich 3: Ribery double narrows the gap

Bayern Munich moved to within six points of Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund by beating Niko Kovac's former club Eintracht Frankfurt.

Franck Ribery scored twice as Bayern Munich ended 2018 by moving into second place in the Bundesliga with a 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

On Niko Kovac's return to his former club, Bayern took the lead midway through the first half when Ribery swept in at the culmination of a slick counter-attack.

Bayern could have been ahead earlier on, had Kevin Trapp not pulled off a superb double save to deny Javi Martinez and Thomas Muller, who later hit the woodwork.
