BERLIN: Arjen Robben grabbed his 100th goal for the club as undefeated Bayern Munich outclassed Freiburg 2-0 on Tuesday to provisionally extend their lead at the top of the table to 12 points and create a Bundesliga defensive record.

Thomas Mueller added another goal after the break at Munich’s Allianz Arena that stretched his team’s unbeaten run to 20 matches in the Bundesliga.

The Bavarians have let in just three goals in 16 league matches this season, a new record that improves on VfB Stuttgart’s mark from season 2003-04.

In Tuesday’s other matches, ten-man Stuttgart climbed out of the bottom three with a 1-0 win at fellow strugglers Hamburg SV thanks to Florian Klein’s first-half winner.

Eighth-placed Hanover 96 notched their first victory in five games as they beat Augsburg 2-0 with goals from Salif Sane and Joselu (penalty) while mid-table Mainz 05 warmed up for Friday’s visit by Bayern with a goalless draw at Cologne.
