COVID-hit Bayern Munich crashed to a 2-1 defeat at home to Borussia Moenchengladbach on Friday with the Bundesliga leaders forced to name a makeshift team after nine stars tested positive for the Coronavirus.

Robert Lewandowski cracked in his 20th league goal this season to give Bayern an early lead, but Gladbach hit back with two goals in four first-half minutes by Florian Neuhaus and Stefan Lainer.

"Gladbach aren't our favourite opponents," said striker Thomas Mueller as Bayern had already crashed to a 0-5 defeat at Gladbach in the German Cup last October.
