Well, look out Lucien.
Borussia Dortmund manager Lucien Favre and his men have company atop the Bundesliga table, at least for a day, after Bayern Munich collected a 1-0 win over Hertha Berlin on Saturday.

That puts the six-time defending Bundesliga champions level on points with BVB, who plays Sunday.
Bayern Munich 1-0 Hertha Berlin
Having played at midweek, a grind of a 0-0 draw at Liverpool, Bayern had most of the ball but failed to generate too much danger.
So it’s fitting that an unorthodox scorer pushed the Bavarians through, with Javi Martinez scoring his first goal of the season and just fourth in as many years.
His 62nd minute winner was aided in producing the win by an 84th minute Hertha red card.
Borussia Monchengladbach 0-3 Wolfsburg
American center back John Brooks will be plenty happy with his performance under the eye of new USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter, who was in attendance as Wolfsburg closed the gap on its third-place hosts to five points.
Brooks won 8 tackles and took a team-high 81 touches in the match, completing 53 of 59 passes.
Yannick Gerhardt scored before Admir Mehmedi added a brace for the visitors.
