MUNICH: A 10-man Bayern Munich went unpunished for a shock 3-2 home defeat to Bochum on Saturday after title chasers Bayer Leverkusen were beaten 2-0 by Werder Bremen. Despite the loss, just Bayern’s second of the season, the Bavarians still hold an eight-point lead over defending champions Leverkusen with nine games to play.

Bayern midfielder Raphael Guerreiro’s 14th minute goal, when the Portuguese hammered a loose ball into the net, had Bayern on track before Serge Gnabry missed a 21st-minute penalty. With Kane, who has converted his past 30 penalties in a row, sitting on the bench, Gnabry stepped up but hit the ball against the post. Guerreiro however scored again with a rare header on the 28-minute mark, just three minutes before Bochum’s Jakov Medic pulled one back with an unstoppable rocket.

With more than two thirds of the season played, in-form Bayern Munich are eight points clear atop the table and have their sights set on winning back the Bundesliga title. The Bavarians host lowly Bochum in Munich on Saturday, with 10 games remaining in the Bundesliga season. Bayern's streak of 11 straight title wins was broken by a rampant Bayer Leverkusen last season, who became the first team in history to win the Bundesliga unbeaten. But with Leverkusen well back in second -- and with Vincent Kompany's charges having thumped Xabi Alonso's men 3-0 in the Champions League last 16 first leg on Wednesday -- Bayern look set to re-establish domestic supremacy.
