Leon Goretzka said he was -overjoyed- after his late winner in Bayern Munich-s 2-1 home victory over Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday moved his side to within just one win of an eighth straight Bundesliga title.
Teenage striker Joshua Zirkee put Bayern ahead, but Benjamin Pavard-s own goal levelled for Gladbach, before Goretzka netted his third goal in five league games with four minutes remaining to seal Bayern-s 10th straight league win. "Turning such a late goal into a victory that will allow us to win the title on Tuesday makes me overjoyed," said Goretzka, 25.
