Omar Marmoush Scores Twice as Eintracht Frankfurt Narrow Gap on Bayern Munich

Marmoush put Frankfurt in front 22 minutes into the game, latching onto a precise pass from Nathaniel Brown and calmly finishing on the counterattack.

Fares Chaibi added a second, again thanks to some good lead-up work from Brown, before Marmoush sealed the result with his second on the 58-minute mark.  

In addition to sitting high on the scoring charts, the 25-year-old Marmoush has a league-high seven assists this campaign.

French forward Hugo Ekitike added a fourth deep into stoppage time to add shine to the result -- his sixth goal of the season. 

"We had very good control from the start," Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmoeller told DAZN after his side's seventh win in a row.

"You never had the feeling that it was going to be dangerous."
