BERLIN -- Bayern Munich routed Hannover 4-0 away to increase its Bundesliga lead to 19 points and extend its league record unbeaten run to 47 games on Sunday. Bastian Schweinsteiger made his first start after recovering from ankle surgery and the Germany midfielder had a hand in both his sides first half goals, as Bayern strolled to its 14th win in succession. Earlier, 10-man Werder Bremen held on for a 0-0 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt, a result that leaves both sides just three points off the relegation zone. Hannover made the better start and Bayern reserve goalkeeper Tom Starke, replacing the rested Manuel Neuer, had to be alert to deny Artjoms Rudnevs in the 15th minute when Szabolcs Huszti played the Latvian striker through. "It took us a while to get into it but once we scored it went very well," Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said. Bayern gave the home side a lesson in efficiency and scored with its first attack of note in the 25th when Schweinsteiger spotted Rafinha on the right and the Brazilian crossed for Thomas Mueller to head inside the right post. Schweinsteiger played a great ball over the Hannover defence for Thiago Alcantara to make it 2-0 with a confident finish nine minutes later. "It was great to play from the beginning, to get the practice back and play without any problems," Schweinsteiger said. "I still have to get into my rhythm. The foot feels good and I hope it stays that way." Hannover threatened briefly after the break, when Rudnevs fired over and Starke saved from Mame Biram Diouf before blocking Husztis effort. Mueller killed any hopes of a comeback with his second goal in the 59th after Mario Mandzukic laid the ball off with his heel. It was the Bayern wingers 10th strike of the season. Mandzukic celebrated his 100th Bundesliga appearance by meeting Rafinhas cross to complete the scoring in the 66th. Schweinsteiger went off shortly afterward, when he vented his frustration at not receiving the ball from substitute Arjen Robben after making a run. "When you get to a certain age you dont like to run as much," Schweinsteiger joked. "I know what Arjen is like." Bayern can wrap up the title in record time with closest challengers Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund losing on Saturday. Fourth-placed Schalke also slipped up by drawing on Friday. No other side has had such an advantage after 22 games in 51 seasons of the Bundesliga. Bayern can theoretically seal the title on March 15. "I look at the table but in the end its only important what we do," Guardiola said. Frankfurt dominated its game Sunday but failed to make the most of its numerical advantage after Felix Kroos was sent off with his second yellow card in the 34th minute. "Were not at all happy with the point," Frankfurt coach Armin Veh said. "We were the better team even before the sending off." Joselu should have scored in the ninth but was thwarted in a one-on-one by Bremen goalkeeper Raphael Wolf. Frankfurt attacking midfielder Alexander Meier grazed the outside of the right post with a free kick in the 29th, shot wide from a promising position in the 78th, and then headed the best chance against the other post with two minutes remaining. "This little victory for morale can help us," Bremen coach Robin Dutt said. "We dont yet know what the point is good for but it will be good for something." JJ Redick Jersey .

Kelli Stack and Alex Carpenter also scored for the Americans, who avoided a repeat of Finlands upset at the Four Nations Cup in Lake Placid, N.Y., in November. Finnish goalie Noora Raty made 58 saves in that one, but the three-time Olympian could stop just 40 of 43 U. http://www.76ersprostore.info/Cheap-Mike-Muscala-76ers-Jersey/ . - Florida State has suspended Jameis Winston for the entire game against Clemson on Saturday, extending its initial punishment of one half after the quarterback made offensive and vulgar comments about female anatomy earlier this week.

Richaun Holmes Jersey . -- LeBron James warned the Orlando Magic to stop double-teaming him and ignoring James Jones.The Montreal Canadiens strong play came to a halt with a pair of home losses against two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Heading out on the road gives them a solid opportunity to get back on track. Montreal looks to win six in a row away from home for the first time in nearly 33 years when it faces the Columbus Blue Jackets for the first time this season Wednesday night. Listen to all the action LIVE on TSN Radio 690 in Montreal with coverage beginning at 5:30pm et. The Canadiens (26-12-3) concluded a perfect five-game trip with a 4-1 win over Pittsburgh on Jan. 3 while moving to 9-1-0 in their previous 10 overall. Montreal, though, failed to add to that successful stretch when it returned home. It was outshot 36-22 in a 4-2 loss to Atlantic Division-leading Tampa Bay on Jan. 6 and fell 2-1 in overtime in the rematch with the Penguins on Saturday. The Canadiens went scoreless in seven power-play chances over those two games and have converted once in 21 opportunities in the last seven. They allowed three goals in 10 short-handed situations on the short homestand. Montreal ranks near the bottom of the NHL with a 13.7 power-play percentage. There are a couple of issues, center David Desharnais said. First off, were having trouble getting the puck in their zone, and its hard to create scoring chances if you cant get the puck in. But when we do get in, our decision-making isnt great. We pass when we should be shooting, and we shouldnt be throwing away opportunities to get pucks on net like that. The Canadiens 13 road wwins are tied for second most in the league, and theyre looking to win six straight there for the first time since an eight-game run Jan.dddddddddddd. 21-Feb. 21, 1982. Weve played well on the road recently so were excited to get back out there, said right wing Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau, who is expected to return after missing the last three games due to a concussion. I dont think we played poorly at home over the last two games, but we certainly could have played better. Based on our previous road trip, we should expect to play some good hockey in Columbus and in Ottawa (on Thursday). Montreal is 3-1-1 in five all-time visits to Columbus, winning 3-2 in a shootout in the last one Nov. 15, 2013. The Blue Jackets (18-19-3) come in having dropped their last two games by 5-2 scores. Saturdays defeat to the New York Islanders was just Columbus second in regulation in its last nine at home (6-2-1), and another bad period doomed the Blue Jackets. New York scored three times in the second after Columbus gave up four goals in the first in Fridays loss. We became undisciplined in certain areas of the game and it opened up holes and exposed us, coach Todd Richards said. Center Ryan Johansen had a career-best five-game goal streak come to an end, but he registered an assist to give him six goals and six assists during a career high-tying 10-game point streak. Johansen scored the tiebreaking goal with 3:01 remaining in a 3-2 win at Montreal on March 20. Sergei Bobrovsky will get the start in goal for the Blue Jackets. ' ' ' |
