Bayern Munich hammered Freiburg at the Allianz Arena to climb above them in the table and close the gap to surprise Bundesliga leaders Union Berlin. This was only the third time that Freiburg had gone into a game against Bayern above them, and they have now failed to win on all three occasions (D1, L2).Freiburg came out of the blocks fast in their search of an early lead, as Ritsu Dōan picked up the ball on the edge of the area before dragging his effort wide of the right post. Bayern responded with a chance of their own shortly after, with Alphonso Davies’ rocket of a shot flying over the crossbar. It wasn’t long before Bayern took the lead, though. Davies put a cross in for Leroy Sané, whose effort was saved, but Serge Gnabry was on hand to head home the rebound.Gnabry almost grabbed his and Bayern’s second midway through the half, forcing Freiburg goalkeeper Mark Flekken into a smart save after receiving the ball on the edge of the box. The Bavarians doubled their lead just after the half-hour mark, with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting working space for himself in the area before firing across Flekken and into the bottom corner. Gnabry had another great chance to grab his second, but was again denied by Flekken, who was easily the busiest of the two shot-stoppers in the first period.Bayern almost grabbed a third after some good link-up play between Choupo-Moting and Gnabry, but the latter could only hit the post after charging into the area. The Bavarians got the third they’d been chasing moments later, as Sané beat his man before cutting in and bending his shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. Bayern started to run riot and grabbed a fourth before the hour mark. Gnabry was the provider, playing a lovely ball through to Sadio Mané, who nonchalantly lobbed Flekken for his fifth Bundesliga goal of the season.Marcel Sabitzer completed the rout with a well-hit effort that curled beyond Flekken as Bayern saw out the game comfortably to move into second. Meanwhile, Freiburg fall down to third but remain inside the top four by a point.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 10FridaySchalke 04 – Hoffenheim 0-3 (0-2)/Skov 11 pen, 59 pen, Dabbur 45+2/Saturday Eintracht Frankfurt – Leverkusen 5-1 (1-0)/Kamada 45+5 pen, 72 pen, Kolo Muani 58, Lindstrom 65 – Hincapie 56/Stuttgart – Bochum 4-1 (2-1)/Mvumpa 3 pen, 64, Ahamada 22, Endo 71 – Zoller 29/Werder – Mainz 0-2 (0-1)/Ingvartsen 36, Lee 66/Wolfsburg – M’gladbach 2-2 (1-1)/Gerhardt 43, Marmoush 69 – Thuram 13, 47/RB Leipzig – Hertha 3-2 (3-0)/Forsberg 25, Diallo 30, Orban 45 – Lukebakio 62 pen, Jovetic 64/Sunday Koln – Augsburg 3-2 (0-1)/Tigges 47, 81, Huseinbasic 61 – Niederlechner 14, Caligiuri 68/Union Berlin – Dortmund 2-0 (2-0)/Haberer 8, 21/Bayern Munich – Freiburg 5-0 (2-0)/Gnabry 13, Choupo Moting 33, Sane 53, Mane 56, Sabitzer 80/©FlashScore
