Heynckes hails Bayern revival

Manager's magic touch guides Munich giant to 7th straight win

BERLIN - Jupp Heynckes praised his Bayern Munich stars as well as the club's hard-pressed medics for turning a five-point deficit into a four-point lead over its Bundesliga rival with Saturday's 3-1 win at Borussia Dortmund.

Arjen Robben, Robert Lewandowski and David Alaba netted the goals as Heynckes's magic touch worked again, four weeks after Carlo Ancelotti was fired.
