Bayern turn it around and set new Bundesliga record, watch 🎥 | OneFootball

Bayern Munich had a scare, but managed to maintain their 11-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga at the end of the 17th round, the last of the first half of the season.

The league leaders came from behind to beat Köln away from home.

With this result, the team managed by Vincent Kompany set the best first-half campaign in Bundesliga history, with 47 points and an incredible 53-goal difference.

The previous record also belonged to Bayern, in the 2013/14 season. With Pep Guardiola as coach, the team had the same number of points, but with a goal difference of "only" 35 in the first half of the championship.

One of Bayern's closest pursuers, Leipzig, also won this Wednesday by overcoming Freiburg.

But the biggest scoreline of the day in the Bundesliga came from Hoffenheim, who thrashed Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-1.
