Bayern Munich brought RB Leipzig back down to earth on Wednesday at the Allianz Arena, as they secured an emphatic 3-0 win to go three points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
Two goals in eight minutes from Thiago Alcantara and Xabi Alonso gave Bayern a comfortable lead, while Leipzig’s task was made even more difficult after Emil Forsberg was shown a red card for a tackle on Philipp Lahm; Robert Lewandowski also tucked home a penalty to make it 3-0 before the break.
The hosts dropped their tempo in the second period against the 10 men and while they conjured some chances, didn't add to their first-half treble.
