Flick ‘annoyed’ but can’t criticise players after Bayern defeat to Leverkusen

A number of chances went begging for the Bundesliga in their 2-1 loss on Saturday, much to the annoyance of the coach

Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick was left "annoyed" after his side wasted a host of chances in their 2-1 loss at home to Bayer Leverkusen.

Leon Bailey scored a first-half brace in Saturday's Bundesliga clash at the Allianz Stadium to inflict a first defeat on the reigning champions since Flick was named interim boss.

Bayern hit the frame of the goal three times and had 11 attempts on target but could not add to Thomas Muller's first-half strike, despite Jonathan Tah being dismissed nine minutes from time for a last-man challenge on substitute Philippe Coutinho.
