ANKARA (AA) - Bayern Munich returned to the German Bundesliga's summit, beating title contenders Union Berlin 3-0 in a Sunday home match.
The German top-tier league's record champions finished the job in the first half at Munich's Allianz Arena.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored the opener for Bayern with a header in the box in the 31st minute.
Kingsley Coman got on the score sheet in the 40th minute. In a counter attack, the French winger put the ball into the net after dribbling past Union Berlin goalkeeper Riis Ronnow.
In injury time of the first half, Bayern star Jamal Musiala made it 3-0 on his 20th birthday.
Musiala fired from close range after an assist by the team's German captain Thomas Muller, who got to the byline to find his compatriot.
Bayern Munich have increased their points to 46 in 22 matches to be back in the Bundesliga's top position on goal difference.
Borussia Dortmund also have 46 points, but they are currently in second spot for scoring much fewer goals than Bayern Munich did this season.
Union Berlin are third with 43 points, but their title hopes are still alive.
