Bayern Munich 6-0 Werder Bremen: Lahm at the double in Bavarians romp

The club captain scored twice, while Xabi Alonso opened his goalscoring account for the club in a comfortable win at the Allianz Arena Philipp Lahm scored twice and Xabi Alonso struck his first goal for the club as Bayern Munich thumped Werder Bremen 6-0 on Saturday afternoon. Werder travelled to Bavaria having conceded 18 goals in their last three league meetings with Bayern - and the champions were in no mood to forgive them further embarrassment on this occasion with a devastating first-half display. Goals from Lahm (2), Xabi Alonso, Thomas Muller and Mario Gotze (2) secured the points for Pep Guardiola's side, with the Bayern boss having the luxury of taking off several of his star men early ahead of Tuesday's Champions League trip to Roma. Even without Robert Lewandowski - left on the bench after picking up a heavy knock while on international duty with Poland - Bayern had an overwhelming amount of attacking quality for their opponents to handle and continued their unbeaten start to the season in ominous fashion. Werder, by contrast, remain rooted to the foot of the table awaiting their first victory of the campaign. The gulf between the teams in this top-versus-bottom clash was evident from the off - the pattern of the game set as the visitors chased shadows while Bayern zipped the ball around at dizzying speed. Despite their overwhelming possession, the champions were made to wait until the 20th minute before taking the lead through Lahm.
