FUERTH, Germany (Reuters) - Bayern Munich eased past hosts Greuther Fuerth 3-1 on Friday, despite playing almost the entire second half with 10 men, to open up a three point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.

But Bayern top scorer Robert Lewandowski saw his scoring streak snap, after failing to equal Gerd Mueller's all-time record of scoring in 16 consecutive league games.

Joshua Kimmich was devastatingly accurate with a low drive on the half hour to score his third league goal, after netting twice last week, and Lewandowski hit the woodwork just before the break. A 68th minute own goal by Sebastian Griesbeck, under pressure from Lewandowski, killed off any slim hopes of a comeback that Fuerth may have been secretly harbouring.
