Bayern suffer nine-year low in shock defeat, slip eight points off title pace

Bayern Munich slumped to a shock 3-2 loss at lowly Bochum, suffering a third successive defeat for the first time since 2015 and leaving them eight points behind Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga title race.

The result followed a 3-0 league defeat to Leverkusen last weekend and a 1-0 loss against Lazio in the Champions League as coach Thomas Tuchel came under renewed pressure.

Title 'not so realistic' says under-fire Tuchel after Bayern's 'horror' week, after a loss on Sunday which left Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen eight points clear at the top.

Asked if his job was in danger, Tuchel said "there is no point worrying about it. I don't believe in making these huge statements of support for the coach ". Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen told reporters Tuchel would "of course" be in the dugout against Leipzig on Saturday.
