Niko Kovac Thrilled With Second Half Performance as Bayern Earn 'Deserved' Win Over Stuttgart

Bayern Munich manager Niko Kovac felt his side merited all three points after a stunning second half display earned Die Roten a 4-1 win over struggling Stuttgart on Sunday.

After seeing Thiago Alcantara's opener ruled out by Anastasios Donis, substitute Serge Gnabry restored the hosts lead, before Leon Goretzka and Robert Lewandowski sealed the win late on.

The victory was the Bavarians seventh consecutive success in the Bundesliga and maintained the six-point gap to top of the table Borussia Dortmund, who had thrashed Hannover 24 hours earlier.

Bayern were lacklustre in the first half, but much improved after the break - with Kovac pleased with the amount of chances his side ended up creating.
