Niko Kovac Bemoans Fixture Pile Up as Bayern Munich Drop Points Against Nurnberg

Bayern Munich missed the chance to go four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga as they only managed a draw at relegation threatened Nurnberg.

Die Roten huffed and puffed in the first half but couldn't find a way through an organised home defence, and were only sparked into life when Nurnberg midfielder Matheus Pereira curled the ball into the far corner.

Serge Gnabry volleyed home an equaliser in the 75th minute, but Bayern were unable to find a winner in the closing stages, and escaped from the jaws of defeat as Tim Leibold cannoned a late penalty of the base of the post, much to the relief of the Munich players.
