Bayern extends league lead with Hoffenheim thrashing

Undefeated champion Bayern Munich continued its seemingly unstoppable charge toward the Bundesliga title, crushing Hoffenheim 4-0 on Saturday to extend its lead at the top.

With second-placed VfL Wolfsburg losing 3-2 at Schalke 04, Bayern went seven points clear, having yet to lose in any of the three competitions it is in this season.

Mario Goetze drilled in with Bayern's first shot on goal in the 23rd minute to go joint top of the scorers' list with seven and Robert Lewandowski headed in his sixth of the campaign from a cross by Arjen Robben.
