Bayern savors week of triumphs

Bayern Munich put the finishing touches on a perfect week's work by defeating Werder Bremen 4-0 on Saturday to extend its lead at the top of the Bundesliga to 14 points.

Pep Guardiola's side made it three wins in seven days, scoring 14 goals and conceding just one, as it not only padded its lead in the domestic flight but qualified for the Champions League quarterfinals.

German international striker Thomas Mueller grabbed his fifth goal in a week with a left-foot shot past Raphael Wolf to put the champion 1-0 in front on 24 minutes at the Weser-Stadion.
