Guardiola impressed by Robben form

The Dutchman took his tally to 10 for the season
after hitting both goals in Saturday's win over
Eintracht Braunschweig and his coach was thrilled
with their recent form

Pep Guardiola praised Arjen Robben 's goalscoring
impact this season as Bayern Munich recorded a
2-0 victory over Eintracht Braunschweig on
Saturday.

The Bundesliga leaders had a taxing schedule
leading into this game, having claimed away wins
against title rivals Borussia Dortmund in the league
and CSKA Moscow in the Champions League in the
space of five days.

Robben's first-half double sealed the triumph to
extend Bayern's unbeaten league run to 39 games.

The hosts were dominant for long spells and
enjoyed 78 per cent possession, but rock-bottom
Braunschweig had their chances on the counter-
attack and could have scored on a couple of
occasions.

Guardiola was particularly happy with Robben as
the Dutchman took his goal tally to 10 in all
competitions this term.
"I'm pleased," the coach said after the match.

"Robben is very important for us and creates many
goals.
"It was a difficult game because we came from
Dortmund and Moscow.

"This game was a whole different ball game."

The victory maintains Bayern's four-point lead at
the top of the table from Bayer Leverkusen, with
Dortmund a further three points behind.
