With Douglas Costa on the bench and Kingsley Coman injured, Franck Ribery showed his worth with Bayern Munich's winner against Frankfurt.
A stunning strike from Franck Ribery proved decisive as Bayern Munich overcame relegation-threatened Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
Ribery beat Frankfurt goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky with a sensational overhead kick from the edge of the box to secure his team the win, ensuring its five-point advantage over Borussia Dortmund at the Bundesliga summit will, at the very least, remain intact this weekend.
Ahead of the clash the Frenchman spoke of his desire to continue proving his value to the club as he approaches his 33rd birthday, and he took full advantage of the opportunity to do just that with Douglas Costa on the bench and Kingsley Coman absent due to a slight muscle injury.
