Bayern Munich cruised to 4-1 victory at Hertha Berlin on Sunday (Jan 23), scoring twice in each half, to stay firmly in control of the title race and restore their six point lead at the top.
Bayern Munich restored their six-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga with a comfortable victory away at Hertha Berlin.
Corentin Tolisso headed Bayern in front before Thomas Muller guided Joshua Kimmich's free-kick into the corner shortly before half-time.
Two goals in four minutes from Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry extended their lead after the break.
Substitute Jurgen Ekkelenkamp scored a late consolation for Hertha.
After beginning 2022 with a home defeat by Borussia Monchengladbach, Julian Nagelsmann's side have now scored eight goals in back-to-back away matches.
The victory moves them back six points ahead of second-placed Borussia Dortmund, who briefly narrowed the gap with a 3-2 win at Hoffenheim on Saturday.
The result could have been worse for Hertha but a spectacular early volley from the impressive Tolisso was ruled out for offside following a video assistant referee (VAR) check.
Then, in the closing stages, a fine individual effort from the edge of the box by former Manchester City winger Sane was disallowed via VAR for a handball in the build-up.
