Mario Gotze scored twice as Bayern Munich easily defeated Werder Bremen
Leaders Bayern Munich maintained their unbeaten start to their Bundesliga campaign as they thrashed bottom club Werder Bremen.
Philipp Lahm scored Bayern's first, converting Thomas Muller's pass.
A Xabi Alonso free-kick and a Muller penalty, after Sebastian Prodl had fouled him, put the champions 3-0 up.
Mario Gotze added a fourth, Lahm then scored from close range before Gotze's 25-yard strike completed the rout. Bremen did not have a shot or corner.
The victory means Bayern remain four points clear of Borussia Monchengladbach, who recorded a 3-0 win at Hannover.

Pep Guardiola's side have now won six and drawn two of their opening eight league matches as they look to win the Bundesliga title for a third successive season.
This win was also a perfect warm-up before their trip to Italian side Roma for their Champions League Group E tie on Tuesday.
Lahm and Gotze netted twice, ex-Liverpool midfielder Alonso scored his first goal for Bayern since joining from Real Madrid in August and Muller scored a spot-kick in the emphatic victory.
