Bundesliga: Serge Gnabry’s brace powers struggling Bayern Munich to first win in four matches

Young Serge Gnabry scored a brace as defending champions Bayern Munich tasted victory for the first time in four Bundesliga matches with a 2-1 win over Werder Bremen on Saturday.

Playing against his former side, 23-year-old Gnabry needed just 20 minutes to open the scoring after seeing side miss a host of opportunities in the early exchanges.
