Bayern Munich’s Arjen Robben scores stunner in win over Borussia Dortmund
Bayern Munich's resurgence under Jupp Heynckes continued as they moved six points clear of Borussia Dortmund with a 3-1 victory in Der Klassiker.
Arjen Robben, Robert Lewandowski and David Alaba all scored as Bayern made it seven wins from seven in all competitions since Heynckes returned to be manager last month.
For the opener, James Rodriguez controlled Thiago Alcantara's cross on his chest and laid the ball back for Robben to cut inside and fire it into the top left corner. It was the Dutch winger's 93rd Bundesliga goal, making him Bayern's highest scoring foreigner.
Lewandowski scored with his heel from Joshua Kimmich's cross, as Julian Weigl's deflection gave Dortmund keeper Roman Burki no chance.
In the second half, Alaba's cross was intended for Lewandowski -- and the striker later claimed he got a touch to it -- but it entered the net anyway with Burki only able to help it on its way.
Dortmund, for whom Marc Bartra netted a late consolation, have now lost three of their previous four in the Bundesliga and are without a victory in the division since September.
