Ancelotti hails Bayern's 'best' first-half display

Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti hailed the Bundesliga leader's first-half performance in Saturday's 2-0 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach as its most impressive of the season.

First-half goals by Bayern's Chile and Brazil internationals gave Ancelotti's Munich its first win in three matches in Germany's top flight after draws against Cologne and Eintracht Frankfurt.

The result at Munich's Allianz Arena capped a good week for Bayern, who enjoyed a 4-1 romp against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday.
