Bayern win 10th in a row


Bayern Munich shrugged off an injury crisis to beat CSKA Moscow 3-1 in Russia and extend their winning Champions League streak to a record 10 matches.

In horrible  conditions on a terrible pitch, Arjen Robben opened the scoring with a neat finish from Thomas Mueller’s cut-back.

Bayern – who had already qualified – were having more of the possession but fewer opportunities, with Keisuke Honda missing two gilt-edged chances in quick succession early in the second half.

And the Germans made them pay as Mario Goetze ran through the defence to add a superb second.

Honda did pull one back from the spot after Dante was harshly adjudged to have handled in the box, but Bayern were soon awarded a penalty of their own, which Mueller duly converted.

With Manchester City also through before this match
day, CSKA must now avoid defeat at Viktoria Plzen in their final game to secure a place in the Europa League.
