Champions Bayern Munich crashed to a 3-2 loss at VfL Bochum on Sunday for a third straight defeat in all competitions, dropping eight points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
The Bavarians, who had Dayot Upamecano sent off for the second consecutive match after his dismissal in Wednesday's Champions League loss to Lazio, showed no real game plan with coach Thomas Tuchel now facing mounting pressure.
His team had lost last week's big league match against Leverkusen and suffered a 1-0 defeat to Italy's Lazio in their round-of-16 first leg.
