Winger Arjen Robben scored his 93rd goal for Bayern Munich against rival Borussia Dortmund.

Arjen Robben became Bayern Munich's highest-scoring foreign player in the Bundesliga with his Klassiker strike against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

The 33-year-old winger curled home the opener at Signal Iduna Park in the 16th minute, taking his league tally for Bayern to 93.

Robben moved past the mark set by Brazilian striker Giovane Elber, a four-time Bundesliga champion with the Bavarian giant.

It was the Dutchman's third of the campaign and first since Jupp Heynckes returned to Bayern last month.

"We are back on track but nothing more than that. We have to keep our feet on the ground," said Robben.

"We can be very happy because since the new manager came in, we were five points behind Dortmund and now we are six points ahead. If you told me that a few weeks ago I would have said you were crazy.

"We know what [Heynckes] can do. The players have to do it on the pitch but he gives structure, tells us how to play and is very clear about things and I think we are more stable now."
