Bayern Munich general manager Uli Hoeness has accused the German authorities of undermining his side's title chances with their unfair scheduling of fixtures.

Bayern moved to the top of the Bundesliga table for the first time this season with a 2-2 draw at Stuttgart on Saturday.

But Hoeness was angry that Bayern were forced to play 24 hours before title rivals Hoffenheim - and following a midweek Champions league trip to Lyon.

"The DFL, who always says it is innovative, schedules Stuttgart against Bayern on Saturday and Hoffenheim against Schalke on Sunday," fumed Hoeness.

"I did not catch Hoffenheim or Schalke playing anywhere in midweek.

"But Bayern was in Lyon. That is not on and we have got to talk about this.

"It is an absolute joke and can not be allowed to happen again in the future."
