Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to eight points after a decisive 4-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. Michael Olise scored just before halftime, taking advantage of Leroy Sane's assist, while Joshua Kimmich left the field due to injury. Bayern had drawn their last two matches but maintained pressure in this game.

Bayern's defence has been exceptional this season, achieving their 12th clean sheet against Eintracht. This is already more than they managed in the entire previous season. Their defensive strength limited Eintracht to only 0.53 expected goals from two shots on target. This resilience is crucial as they aim to surpass Bayer Leverkusen in the title race.

Hiroki Ito doubled Bayern's lead in the 61st minute after Kevin Trapp misjudged a corner kick. Harry Kane returned from injury as a substitute in the second half. Despite missing a chance for a third goal, Jamal Musiala made up for it with an impressive solo effort in the 83rd minute.

Serge Gnabry added Bayern's fourth goal during stoppage time, benefiting from Kingsley Coman's excellent play and scoring through Trapp's legs. This win keeps Bayer Leverkusen, who Bayern will face in the Champions League last 16, at bay. Xabi Alonso’s team remains second with 50 points.

Bayern have now defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 43 times at home in Bundesliga history, more than any other team against a single opponent. Kompany’s side has dropped only two points at home all season, showcasing the best home record across Europe’s top five leagues.

Despite recent draws, Bayern showed their determination by keeping up the pressure throughout this match. Their strong performance ensures they remain on course for another Bundesliga title, with their next challenge being Bayer Leverkusen in European competition.
