Neuer hits Bundesliga record with 100 clean sheets

The Germany international reached the milestone in record time, easily besting the mark previously set by Oliver Reck

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer set a Bundesliga record Saturday, becoming the fastest player to reach 100 clean sheets.

The 30-year-old was in goal for Bayern's 8-0 thrashing of Hamburg at the Allianz Arena, a result which saw him hit a century of clean sheets in 183 matches.

That mark easily bested the previous record of 232 matches, held by Werder Bremen's Oliver Reck.

It was a milestone-filled afternoon for Bayern, who rolled to victory in Carlo Ancelotti's 1,000th match as a manager.
