Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Monchengladbach 2-1 from the Allianz Arena to take fourth place in the German Bundesliga standings and finally be back in the mix. Ivica Olić and Danijel Pranjić both started the game for Bayern but made early exits in the 59' and 79', respectively. Pranjić tested Borussia goalkeeper Logan Bailly with the first chance of the match. After taking the lead, Bayern took out the Osijek native in favor of a defensive-minded Anatoliy TymoshchukIvan Klasnić got another important start for the Bolton Wanderers in their match at Molineux Stadium as they took on the Wolverhampton Wanderers. (Apparently the Wanderer name is as popular in England as Wildcat is in America.) Klasnić played the entire match in a 2-1 Bolton loss that will keep the club a relegation contender the entire season. Bolton sits second from the bottom with only 12 points from 14 games. Klasnić is playing well despite the lousy results. He had a firm strike on goal and set up the ball that lead to Bolton's only goal. He can easily take this club over if he starts scoring goals. 'King Killer' they would call him!
Vedran Ćorluka had glimpses of greatness and fatigue in this game. Ćarli played his usual 90 minutes and looked a bit lazy in the first half, almost committing an own goal. Ćorluka was not responsible for either Everton goal as they both came from the left side. He is carrying the ball much more in recent weeks and hanging out in the attacking zone on set plays. Ćorluka deserves a nice, long winter break to recharge those batterieKranjčar assisted the second goal off a corner kick that fell perfectly to teammate Michael Dawson for the header. Kranjčar played well on the day connecting many passes for his attackers for chances on goal. He has however cooled down from his absolute tear last month.Tottenham let Everton score two goals to equalize the game within the last 15 minutes before more chaos ensued. Wilson Palacios was hockey checked in injury time while he was making a run in the Everton box. Jermain Defoe lined up for the penalty shot only to have it blocked by Tim Howard's shins. The game ended in a dramatical 2-2 draw.
