(CNN) -- Bayern Munich climbed to third place in the Bundesliga on Saturday with a 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim. Luis Van Gaal's team started brightly and took the lead after two minutes through Germany striker Mario Gomez, who scored his 17th league goal of the season. Gomez's compatriot Thomas Muller doubled the reigning champions' advantage with only 15 minutes gone when he fired home from inside the box after a pass from Franck Ribery. Dutch winger Arjen Robben netted a brace in only his fourth game of the season to seal a comprehensive victory. The win sees the 2010 double winners move ahead of Mainz and Hannover who are both in action on Sunday.
