Bayern beaten by Werder BremenTuchel outraged by displaySit seven points behind LeverkusenWHAT HAPPENED?

Mitchell Weiser's second-half goal secured the three points for the visitors in a shock defeat for Tuchel's team. The Bundesliga champions enjoyed the lion's share of possession and more chances than their opponents but were unable to pull level, much to Tuchel's disappointment. Top scorer Harry Kane was among those to fall flat as Bayern missed the chance to keep the pressure on Bayer Leverkusen at the Bundesliga summit.

"For the first 70 minutes, we didn’t look like a team who wanted to win and play for the title," Tuchel said. "The win was very deserved for Werder. We conceded too many counter-attacks, lost too many duels, lost our structure. There was little positive energy today. We were sloppy and static. It’s not enough. I can’t explain why so many players fell short of the levels they showed in training."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The result sees Bayern slip further behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso's surprise package are now seven points clear of the reigning German champions, though Tuchel's team have a game in hand over their rivals.
