Bayern Munich surged seven points clear at the top of the Bundesliga after Luca Toni and Franck Ribery combined to earn a 2-0 home win over Karlsruhe on Saturday, while Werder Bremen were defeated 6-3 by Stuttgart. Karlsruhe held firm at the Allianz Arena until Toni squeezed in a shot four minutes before half-time. Ribery made the game safe with a virtuoso goal 20 minutes into the second half.
Mario Gomez netted a hat-trick for Stuttgart to see the champions to a memorable victory at home to Werder, who had briefly led through Hugo Almeida but ended up well beaten and a man short, Per Mertesacker being sent off late in the game.
After 23 matches Bayern lead on 50 points followed by Werder on 43. Hamburger, in third place on 41, will move up to second and cut Bayern's lead to six points if they win at Nuremberg on Sunday.
Bayer Leverkusen, fourth on 38 points, are also in action on Sunday at home to Hanover 96
