Bayern Sets Record To Maintain Leadership

Thiago Alcantara struck in the dying moments with a match-winning bicycle kick, which gave Bayern Munich the maximum  points after Claudio Pizarro had leveled the scores with less than quarter of an hour left on the clock.

The Peruvian striker came off the bench to salvage the points for the German champions, who had been trailing for nearly an hour after Vedad Ibisevic put Stuttgart in the lead on 29 minutes.

Pep Guardiola’s men are now 13 points clear of Bayer Leverkusen and 18 ahead of Borussa Dortmund at the top of the table.

The Bayern juggernaut marches on to 43 games unbeaten and they did break another record: scoring in 27 consecutive away matches, beating a mark previously held by Hamburg.
