Bayern Munich hammer Schalke

Bayern Munich recorded a comfortable 4-0 win over Schalke at the Veltins Arena on Saturday evening.

The visitors were in front in the 22nd minute thanks to Bastian Schweinsteiger, who headed home Arjen Robben's corner from close range.

They doubled their lead just a minute later, with Mario Mandzukic capitalising on a poor defence from the hosts and rising highest to turn David Alaba's header into the net.

Franck Ribery added a third for the Bavarians 15 minutes from time, hitting home an Alaba cross after a good attacking move from Schalke and Claudio Pizzarro sealed their 4-0 win just five minutes from time.

Pizarro latched onto Thomas Muller's pass before slotting it past Timo Hildebrand.
