That said, Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich brought together two of the bigger teams from last season and we saw plenty of goals and some much-needed points from the league’s 18th place side.
Wolfsburg 0-2 Bayern Munich
Bayern’s table lead is 11 over No. 2 Dortmund after another big win, while last year’s title rival Wolfsburg sits way down in 8th. Kingsley Coman broke the deadlock in the 66th minute before Robert Lewandowski added his 23rd Bundesliga goal of the season to salt it away.
Coman, 19, continued his fine loan from Juventus with a fourth Bundesliga goal and fifth in all competitions. Manuel Neuer picked up clean sheet No. 14 of the season with a mere 45 touches on the ball.
Franck Ribery chests down to Robert Lewandowski, who doubles Bayern’s lead with his 23rd Bundesliga goal. https://t.co/RNDL1M76RY
