Bayern dominant

Bayern Munich continued their early season charge for the Bundesliga title with a 4-0 rout of Hertha Berlin on Saturday that gave them a five-point lead at the top.
Bayern, who finished a massive 10 points off Borussia Dortmund's pace last season, were quick to extinguish any hopes of an upset by racing 3-0 up thanks to goals from Mario Gomez, Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Gomez added his second from a spot-kick in the 69th minute to seal a comprehensive win for Jupp Heynckes' seemingly unstoppable side, whose lead was boosted by results elsewhere.
Borussia Monchen-gladbach looked set to claim a precious 2-1 win at home to Bayer Leverkusen but had to accept a share of the spoils after Leverkusen striker Andre Schuerrle fired home in the 87th minute to level.
Monchengladbach still moved up one place to second, five points behind Bayern, who now have a six-point cushion on Dortmund, Stuttgart and Bremen -- all of whom have played nine games.
Dortmund had moved temporarily up to second on Friday with a 2-0 away win that ended Werder Bremen's undefeated spell at home.
Elsewhere, Wolfsburg had Mario Mandzukic to thank for a brace in a 2-1 home win against Nuremberg.
The Croatian, who scored a goal against Latvia in their final Euro 2012 qualifier in midweek, opening his account in the 23rd minute and cancelling out Christian Eigler's 70th-minute leveller with a penalty in the 83rd minute.
Hertha secured promotion to the Bundesliga in May after a season in the German second division but the gulf in class between the sides was evident almost immediately as Bayern opened up a 3-0 lead inside 13 minutes.
French international Franck Ribery was inspirational, providing assists for both Gomez's opener and Schweinsteiger's 13th-minute goal, either side of getting on the scoresheet himself.
He was also instrumental in Bayern's penalty, which Gomez converted to remain the league's top scorer with 10 goals.
