Bayern Munich showcased their resilience, coming from behind to secure a crucial 3-1 victory against Borussia Monchengladbach at the Allianz Arena. This win keeps the pressure on Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen, while Thomas Tuchel extended his personal winning streak over Gladbach to five matches.
Early Struggles and Gladbach’s Surprise Lead
Despite an early miss from Leroy Sane, Bayern dominated the first half, with Harry Kane’s fierce free-kick coming close. However, against the run of play, Gladbach took the lead when Nico Elvedi capitalized on a loose pass from Manuel Neuer and slotted a first-time finish into the bottom corner.
Bayern’s Response and Second-Half Triumph
Aleksandar Pavlovic restored parity for Bayern on the stroke of half-time, setting the stage for a second-half showdown. Bayern’s history and commanding head-to-head record signaled their intent, and with 20 minutes to go, Harry Kane capitalized on an unconvincing Nicolas punch to score his 24th league goal of the season, a Bundesliga newcomer record.
Matthijs de Ligt’s thumping header late in the game gave Bayern breathing room as they secured their second victory in the last seven competitive fixtures against Gladbach. The reigning champions now look ahead to a challenging match against surprise title rivals Leverkusen at the BayArena.
On the other hand, Borussia Monchengladbach finds themselves in midtable, with their winless record on the road extending to seven games, six of which have seen them concede at least two goals.
