MOENCHENGLADBACH - Borussia Moenchengladbach battled back from two goals down to stun champions Bayern Munich 3-2 on Friday, with a double from Jonas Hofmann and another from Florian Neuhaus.

Gladbach pressed high from the start but it was Bayern who went ahead with Robert Lewandowski’s 20th minute penalty for his 20th goal of the campaign.
