Lahm content with stalemate

Philipp Lahm was satisfied with Bayern Munich’s goalless draw at Borussia Monchengladbach and felt his side controlled the game.

Both sides maintained their unbeaten record in the Bundesliga as they played out a stalemate at Borussia-Park on Sunday.

Germany internationals Max Kruse and Andre Hahn each found themselves one-on-one with Manuel Neuer, but the Bayern keeper stood firm to preserve a seventh consecutive clean sheet in the league.

Bayern are four points clear of Hoffenheim, Gladbach and Wolfsburg after winning six of their first nine matches and Lahm was content with the outcome on Sunday.

“It’s a good result for us. We didn’t create that many clear-cut chances but we had the match under control.” Lahm told the club’s official website.

“We came here to win, and everyone could see that, even at the end. We’re four points clear so everything’s okay.”

Thomas Muller echoed Lahm’s sentiments and praised the performance of Neuer.

“Obviously Gladbach had two or three chances on the break, and that’s what you’d expect.” said the Germany forward.

“They’re very well organised and their transitions are very quick, so you’ll never prevent them getting a few shots away, but Manuel was extremely alert. Otherwise we played a very good game.”
