Choupo-Moting Scores, But Bayern Misses Target Against Gladbach

Cameroonian international Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored his 8th goal in 15 Bundesliga appearances against Gladbach but that wasn’t enough for the Bavarians as they lost 3-2.

After Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano was sent off early on, Gladbach quickly took the lead through Lars Stindl.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting equalised before half-time, but Jonas Hofmann and Marcus Thuram put the hosts in command.

Mathys Tel scored late to make it just a consolation 3-2, which leaves Bayern only point clear of Union Berlin.

Bayern, who are aiming for record 11th consecutive Bundesliga title, have now lost their past five matches against Gladbach.

Union Berlin are the German top-flight’s surprise package this season and will go above Bayern if they beat bottom club Schalke on Sunday.
