Bayern Munich suffer biggest defeat in 43 years

Bayern Munich suffered their biggest defeat since 1978 as they were thrashed 5-0 at Borussia Monchengladbach in the German Cup second round.

Gladbach led 1-0 after two minutes and 3-0 by the 21st minute. By the 57th minute, they were already 5-0 up.

Gladbach scored with five of their six shots on target, with Bayern having more possession and more efforts than the hosts without scoring.

It was only the second defeat Bayern have suffered under coach Julian Nagelsmann and ended a run of scoring in 85 consecutive games.

Their record defeat remains a 7-0 home loss to Schalke in the Bundesliga back in 1976. But this is their biggest defeat in a competition they have won a record 20 times.

Gladbach, who have lost four of their past eight games, are in the bottom half of the Bundesliga.
