Dutch winger Arjen Robben scored his 100th goal for Bayern Munich in the German side's 2-0 victory over Sport-Club Freiburg to extend their unbeaten run to 20 matches in the Bundesliga.

Robben, who moved to Bayern from Real Madrid in 2009 and has won three league titles and the Champions League, opened the scoring with a header from Franck Ribery's cross before Thomas Muller headed in a rebound to wrap up the win.

Bayern football team manager Pep Guardiola has now won 42 of 50 Bundesliga games, losing just twice, The BBC reported.

Bayern had 31 shots to Freiburg's two, and enjoyed 82 percent of possession in the game. They are now 12 points clear of Wolfsburg at the top of the table as they chase a third straight title win.

Guardiola's side faces Mainz on Friday night in the final game before the Christmas break, the report added.
