Bayern Munich maintain momentum as Nurnburg beaten


German treble winners Bayern Munich maintained their winning start to the Bundesliga season by beating Nurnburg 2-0 in their encounter at the Allianz Arena.

Nurnburg dominated the first half as Bayern struggled to keep, but gained ground in the second half. Phillip Lahm crossed the ball for Franck Ribery to score a rare headed goal on the 69th minute.


10 minutes later, Dutch winger Arjen Robben cut in from the right side and slid in a shot to seal the home side's victory and a vital three points to keep up with rivals Borussia Dortmund. 


David Alaba missed a 33rd minute penalty that could have made it an emphatic victory.
