Gladbach 2-1 Bayern Munich: Injury Hit Champions Slump to Defeat as Jupp Heynckes Revival Stalls

Bayern Munich's injury hit squad wen were well beaten by in-form Borussia Monchengladbach as Jupp Heynckes's unbeaten record since his return to the Bundesliga champions was ended in a limp fashion.

The first half was a mostly tense affair, with Rafael missing a golden opportunity to open the scoring after a defensive error as the Brazilian sliced his shot horribly wide. With the Bundesliga champions failing to give their hosts anything to think about, the hosts patient approach paid off when Niklas Sule handled Thorgan Hazard's flick, winning Gladbach a penalty.

The Belgian, who is also the younger brother of Chelsea's Eden, stepped up and smashed the spot kick home despite Sven Ulreich getting a strong hand on the attempt.
