Bayern thrash Hertha in Berlin to restore six-point lead in Germany
Bayern Munich romped to a 4-1 victory at Hertha Berlin on Sunday to restore the Bavarian giants' six-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
Midfielder Corentin Tolisso grabbed his second goal in as many games before Bayern forward Thomas Mueller made it 2-0 by half-time at Berlin's Olympic Stadium.
Bayern doubled their tally with two goals in four devastating minutes as Leroy Sane pounced on a mistake by Hertha goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow, then Serge Gnabry fired in Bayern's fourth 11 minutes from time.
Jurgen Ekkelenkamp scored Hertha's late consolation.
"It was fun, we controlled the game for the whole 90 minutes," said Bayern's Joshua Kimmich, who returned to midfield having played the two previous games at right-back.
Kimmich, who set up goals for Mueller and Gnabry, revealed Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski, the league's top-scorer, was annoyed that he failed to add to his tally of 23 goals.
"We teased him about that," Kimmich said.
