Julian Nagelsmann's side drew their last games

Bayern Munich, who failed to win any of their previous three league games, returned to the top of the German Bundesliga with a 4-2 away victory at Wolfsburg on Sunday.

The Bavarians needed only 10 minutes in the first half to take a 3-0 lead – lively Kinglsey Coman scored twice and Thomas Muller added another one from a Joshua Kimmich’s free kick in the 18th minute.

Polish midfielder Jakub Kaminski reduced the deficit two minutes before half-time and Kimmich was sent off for a second bookable offence early in the second half, but the visitors held on to move a point ahead of Union Berlin at the top of the table.

Wolfsburg missed a golden opportunity to score their second on the hour mark – Kaminski placed a delightful cross into Ridle Baku who could only power his free header directly at Yann Sommer.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side punished the home team for missing chances, scoring their fourth of the game as Jamal Musiala slalomed past several players before firing an effort past Koen Casteels.
