In-form
Borussia Moenchengladbach struck three times in 14 minutes in the second half
to floor champions Bayern Munich 3-1 on Saturday and inflict their first
Bundesliga defeat of the season.
Oscar Wendt put
the hosts ahead in the 54th minute and quick goals from Lars Stindl and Fabian
Johnson knocked out Bayern, who looked stunned after winning 13 of their 14
league games in a record-breaking start to the campaign.
Franck Ribery
scored on his comeback after an eight-month injury break but the Frenchman's
81st-minute goal came too late to turn the game around.
"It can
happen that you concede a goal but after the first goal we completely lost our
discipline," said Bayern coach Pep Guardiola.
"That was
not good at all. We ran straight into counter-attacks and that is the reason we
lost today.
"It was
difficult after the break because we kept losing possession.
"This game
was a lesson that you should not neglect your own playing style."
Gladbach, who
face Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday, stretched their
unbeaten run under coach Andre Schubert to 10 league games and climbed to third
on 26 points.
Bayern are top
on 40, eight ahead of Borussia Dortmund, who were to take on VfL Wolfsburg
later on Saturday.
