Bayern move within four points of top spot after Guerreiro goal sinks Union Berlin

Bayern Munich closed the gap on Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga table to four points following a crucial 1-0 home win against Union Berlin.

After a goalless first half, Dayot Upamecano needed to be replaced at half-time following a hamstring injury which gave Eric Dier his Bayern debut.

Bayern remained focused and found the opener within a minute of the restart through Raphael Guerreiro

Harry Kane thought he had broken the record for the most goals in the first half of a Bundesliga season when he struck a second, but his neat effort was ruled out for offside.

There was a scuffle between Leroy Sane and Union Berlin manager Nenad Bjelica off the pitch which saw the latter sent off for shoving the German in the face.

Union pushed for an equaliser to boost their chances of surviving the drop, but Bayern held on for a vital three points to keep tabs on Leverkusen ahead of their trip to the leaders next month.
