BERLIN - Bayern Munich rested half a dozen stars but still romped to a 6-1 win at home against 10-man Werder Bremen on Saturday to go 18 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
Bayern boss Jupp Heynckes celebrated his 1000th Bundesliga game as a player or coach by making six changes to the team which won 3-1 at Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday.
But they still extended their unbeaten run to 20 matches since their last defeat at home to Bayer Leverkusen at the end of October while resting their top players for Wednesday's German Cup quarter-final at home to Dortmund.
