Bayern Munich achieve European football record which Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Liverpool don't have

Bayern Munich equalled the European record for successive wins to start a season as they beat 10-man Borussia Moenchengladbach 3-0 on Saturday. Joshua Kimmich, Raphael Guerreiro and teenager Lennart Karl all scored in the final half hour as Bayern made it 13 wins from 13 games in all competitions, a feat last achieved by AC Milan at the start of the 1992-93 season.

Bayern Munich's latest star, 17-year-old Lennart Karl, scored again as his team extended its perfect start to the Bundesliga season by racking up its 13th win in a row in all competitions. Three days after becoming Bayern's youngest-ever Champions League goalscorer, Karl hit a curling shot from outside the box for his first Bundesliga goal, Bayern's third in a 3-0 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach.

The win meant Bayern stay five points clear of second-placed RB Leipzig at the top of the table. "After the red card, the entire stadium celebrated every duel won and every save by their 'keeper," Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said. "There were a lot of emotions -- we stayed calm. When we got our chances, we took them," Kompany said.


It was only the second time this season Harry Kane, who had a goal chalked off for offside in the second half, failed to score. Jens Castrop sunk his studs into Luis Diaz's shin with 19 minutes gone and was sent off when his yellow card was upgraded to red after a VAR review.

Despite the one-man advantage, Bayern -- who made six changes including Jonas Urbig replacing captain Manuel Neuer in goal -- lacked fluidity against their last-placed opponents.

Kimmich put the visitors ahead after 64 minutes, blasting through a crowded penalty box and Guerreiro added another five minutes later, sweeping in to finish off a lovely team move.

Gladbach's hopes of getting something out of the match were dashed further when Kevin Stoeger hit a penalty at the post with 15 minutes left.

With nine minutes remaining, 17-year-old Karl produced a stunning curling strike to wrap up the match for the defending champions.
