Bayern cruise past Union Berlin 4-0 to extend lead at top

Bayern Munich scored three times in seven minutes to cruise past Union Berlin 4-0 in the Bundesliga on Saturday and open up a 12-point lead at the top while edging closer to an all-time club scoring record, Reuters reported. 

The Bavarians, chasing three trophies and fresh from their midweek Champions League quarter-final qualification with a 10-2 aggregate win over Atalanta, are on 70 points with second-placed Borussia Dortmund, on 58, playing Hamburg SV later.

Bayern have now scored 97 league goals, four short of equalling the all-time club record in the 1971-72 Bundesliga campaign, according to Reuters.
