Tim Kleindienst Stars In Gladbach's 4-1 Win Over Bremen In Bundesliga

Tim Kleindienst starred in Borussia Mönchengladbach's 4-1 win over Werder Bremen in Bundesliga on Sunday.

Kleindienst was involved in every goal as Gladbach recovered from its German Cup defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt to ease some of pressure on coach Gerardo Seoane after nine rounds of league. His team has lost as many league games - four – as it has won so far this season.

Gladbach capitalized on mistakes in Bremen defense to race into an early two-goal lead.

Kleindienst made most of a wayward pass to set up Alassane Plea – who scored with a defected shot in 11th minute – n forced an own-goal from Marco Friedl a minute later after Bremen goalkeeper Michael Zetterer’s kickout went straight to a Gladbach player.

Kleindienst also sent Franck Horat through to make it 3-0 on a counterattack before break. Horat was in his own half when he started his run, and French midfielder was chased by two defenders before he coolly fired inside far corner.

visitors were much improved after break, but Kleindienst crossed for Kevin Stöger to grab Gladbach’s fourth in 66th.

Keke Topp scored Bremen’s consolation in 75th, seven minutes before teammate Mitchell Weiser was sent off with a second yellow card.

Earlier, Freiburg missed chance to move third in a 0-0 draw against Mainz, which stretched its unbeaten away start to league.

Bayern Munich tops league by three points.
