Bremen humbled last time out

They secured a famous victory in their most recent league game as they beat Bayern Munich. With that monumental 2-1 win, they have now thrown open the title race given that the leaders now only lead their closest challengers with two points. Also, they now opened a healthy five-point lead on Leverkusen as they look to secure Champions League qualification for the first time in their history.
