Luis Díaz starred as Bayern Munich crushed Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-1 to stretch their Bundesliga lead to 14 points. The Colombian opened the scoring with a thunderous volley in the 33rd minute before setting up Konrad Laimer for the second. With Harry Kane sidelined, Nicolas Jackson led the line and was fouled for a red card that saw Rocco Reitz sent off.

Jamal Musiala converted the penalty to notch his first goal of the season, while Jackson sealed the win with a fourth goal 11 minutes from time. The victory showcased Bayern's depth as they made seven changes from their Klassiker win over Dortmund. Youngster Wael Mohya, 17, scored Gladbach's consolation goal, becoming the club's youngest-ever goalscorer.

The only concern for Bayern was Manuel Neuer leaving at halftime after returning from injury. Gladbach remain in 12th place, just three points above the relegation zone, as Bayern continue their march toward another title.
