Niko Kovac Claims Bundesliga Is 'Open' Following 5-1 Hammering of Borussia Mönchengladbach

Bayern Munich manager Niko Kovac believes his side produced their best performance in the Bundesliga this season as they thrashed Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-1 on Saturday.

A brace from Robert Lewandowski - who became the club's third-highest scorer and the Bundesliga's joint-highest foreign goalscorer as a result - and goals from Javi Martinez, Thomas Muller and Serge Gnabry helped seal the win at Borussia-Park, with Die Roten going level on points with Borussia Dortmund at the summit of the table.

It was a performance that pleased Kovac greatly after the game, although he thought his side could've scored more, which would've been the case had Yann Sommer not been in inspired form for the hosts.
