Bundesliga leaders Bayern beaten 4-2 at Bochum

Holtmann grabbed an assist and a goal as Bochum became the first team to score four goals against Bayern before half-time since 1975. Bayern had not lost to Bochum since 2004 ahead of this game, and beat them 7-0 when the two teams last met in September.

When Robert Lewandowski bundled in the opener, it seemed like it would be a normal afternoon for the perennial champions. But Bochum equalised quickly through Christopher Antwi-Adjei, before taking control in a frenzied 10 minutes.

Juergen Locadia gave the hosts the lead from the penalty spot, and an unsettled Bayern wilted under pressure. Cristian Gamboa smashed the ball into the top corner from the edge of the area two minutes later, before Holtmann curled in another brilliant long-range effort at half-time.

Lewandowski pulled a goal back in the second half, but it was too little for Bayern to avoid defeat.
