Guirassy matches record as Stuttgart claims second
Stuttgart's Serhou Guirassy matched a Bundesliga record previously shared by Stefan Kiessling, Ailton and Gert Muller with his opener against Borussia Monchengladbach in a dominant 4-0 Bundesliga win.
Guirassy put high-flying Stuttgart ahead in the 23rd minute in its final game of the season, marking the 12th time the striker has scored the opener in a league match this season.
That feat equalled the record set by the great Muller in 1969-1970, and then matched by Ailton in 2003-2004 and Kiessling in 2012-2013.
It also brought up Guirassy's 27th goal of a stellar campaign, which propelled Stuttgart to second, leaving Bayern Munich in third, its worst finish since 2011. Bayer Leverkusen wrapped up the title with an historic unbeaten run to the title.
Guirassy bagged a second on 31 minutes before second-half strikes from Jeong Woo-yeong and Silas wraped up an easy win.
