Guardiola glad after Bayern first win following the winter break,

Pep Guardiola hailed his players’ togetherness after Bayern
Munich’s first win following the winter break, downing
Hamburg 2-1 at Volksparkstadion on Friday.

Robert Lewandowski put the visitors ahead on 37 minutes
but the Bavarians were pegged back when Xabi Alonso
netted at the wrong end following the interval.

However, Bayern were not to be prevented, as Lewandowski
netted his second of the evening eight minutes later to help
Guardiola’s men continue their dominant league form.

 "All credit to my players, they did well. It was a good display
considering it was the first match after the winter break," the
Spaniard told reporters.

"We ran a lot and only allowed one chance. We played as a
team. It was a tough game and we’re pleased to win. We
need a bit more to hit our top level. It was an important win
and for a first game it was very good.

"The three points are the most important thing. We were
solid at the back and although we let in a goal we still did
well."

With the win Bayern extended their lead over Borussia
Dortmund to 11 points atop the Bundesliga.
