The Dutchman sent Pep Guardiolas men ahead in the midweek clash before Thomas Muller doubled the lead shortly after the break at the Allianz Arena Arjen Robben scored his 100th goal as a Bayern Munich player as they strolled to a 2-0 win over Freiburg on Tuesday to go 12 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga. Fresh from scoring twice in a 4-0 win at Augsburg on Saturday, the Netherlands international was on target again in a typically dominant performance in Bayerns last match at the Allianz Arena before the mid-season break. Head coach Pep Guardiola labelled Robbens recent performances as unbelievable after the Augsburg win. And he reached a century of Bayern goals with a close-range header in the 41st minute from a Franck Ribery knockdown, the Frenchman having himself reached 100 goals against Bayer Leverkusen this month The leaders, who are unbeaten in the league this term, extended their lead three minutes after the break through Thomas Mullers seventh top-flight goal of the season, while Juan Bernat also rattled the post. Bayern have now won 17 of their last 20 Bundesliga matches and, with second-placed Wolfsburg not playing until Wednesday, their lead at the top of the table extends to 12 points. The hosts were uncharacteristically wasteful in the final third in the opening 20 minutes, but Bayern soon found their stride and Muller headed over when stretching to meet Riberys cross from the left byline. Muller was at the heart of Bayerns next chance in 22nd minute, the German turning Marc-Oliver Kempf sharply in the area before stabbing narrowly wide when off balance. Robben then tried his luck with a half-volley from distance, before Roman Burki made a fine one-handed stop to deny Mario Gotzes eight-yard side-footed volley that would have found the bottom right-hand corner.
