Bayern Munich secured back-to-back league wins for the first time since early November and created a three-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga with a comfortable 3-0 win against Bochum.
Despite a resounding 4-2 victory over Wolfsburg last time out, in which Bayern were 3-0 up after 19 minutes, the Bavarian side were unable to garner a similar early advantage against Bochum at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern saw plenty of the ball early on and eventually produced the first big chance when Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting out-jumped Konstantinos Stafylidis in the six-yard box, but headered against the foot of the post.
