Bayern Munich scored seven goals in the opening 58 minutes on their way to a 7-1 victory over Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga this afternoon.
The league's top goalscorer Mario Gomez scored a hat-trick, with former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben also grabbing two.
The German frontman opened the scoring after just five minutes and it was three by the 18th minute following Robben's penalty and Toni Kroos's effort from the edge of the area.
Robben got his second on the half-hour mark before Gomez completed his treble either side of the break.
Franck Ribery grabbed the seventh in the 58th minute ahead of an easy-going half-hour for the hosts.
Even visiting Hoffenheim's goal was scored by a Bayern player when Luis Gustavo turned into his own goal five minutes from time.
Despite the win Munich are still four points behind champions Borussia Dortmund, who also have a game in hand.
