P18:Layout 1 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2013 SPORTS Bayern equal record with Hoffenheim win BERLIN: Bayern Munich equalled the record for the longest unbeaten run in the history of the Bundesliga with a 2-1 win at Hoffenheim yesterday. The hard fought result was enough to extend their remark- able record of not having lost a top-flight game in more than a year. In doing so, they have equalled the all-time Bundesliga record of 36 matches unbeaten set by Hamburg between January 1982 and January 1983. Bayern manager Pep Guardiola said: “It was a difficult win to get, but that’s always been the case for Bayern on this pitch. “It wasn’t without a doubt our best performance but we’ve won so I’m satisfied.” Bayern can go on and own the record outright by avoiding defeat against neigh- bors Augsburg next weekend.

The figures released by the Office for National Statistics were well ahead of the market consensus of 0.5 percent growth. They contrasted with a drop of 0.7 percent in February, and encouraged hope that Britain’s economy returned to growth in the first quarter of the year. Government warnings to prepare for a possible strike by tanker drivers set off a wave of panic buying of petrol, contrib- uting to a 4.9 percent gain in petrol sales Continued on page 4 R Inflation Rises For First Time In Six Months INCREASES in the price of food and clothing pushed inflation in Britain to 3.5 percent in March, the first increase in the annual rate in six months, official figures showed last month. The Office for National Statistics said the rate was up from February’s 3.4 percent – still far above the Bank of Eng- land’s official target of two percent. Analysts, however, said the inflation rate, which had been falling steadily from a peak of 5.2 percent in September, is likely to soon resume its decline. “This should be only temporary,” said Vicky Redwood, chief UK economist at Capital Economics.

The Spanish champions dominated possession but failed to test goalkeeper Fraser Forster in the opening 45 minutes with Celtic’s Georgios Samaras having the best chance of the half. But it was a moment of mad- ness from skipper Scott Brown that cost Celtic dearly as the mid- fielder was shown a straight red card in the 59th minute as he appeared to direct a sly kick at Neymar after tripping the Brazilian superstar. However, Celtic recovered well from Brown’s dismissal and sub- stitute James Forrest forced Victor Valdes into a fine save before Charlie Mulgrew headed just wide.
