The Bavarians, who scored three goals after Gladbach seized a halftime lead, climbed up to 50 points in second position, two behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Thomas Mueller, a senior offensive midfielder for Bayern, set a new milestone with the outcome when he became the first player in club history to win 500 games in all competitions.
The visitors startled Bayern by grabbing the lead in the 35th minute. Gladbach quickly executed a three-pass sequence after Mueller lost control, and Nico Elvedi eventually beat goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. After missing many opportunities to score through Harry Kane and Leroy Sane, the Bavarians tied the score at the end of the first half through the efforts of youngster Aleksandar Pavlovic, who is scoring again for the second straight week. After a mistake by the Gladbach keeper, Kane's close-range header completed the hosts' comeback in the 70th minute. Later the three points were secured by a header from Matthijs de Ligt.
