29' SHOT! Lewandowski's shot saved

STRAIGHT AT CASTEELS! This is more like it from Bayern. Gnabry tees up Lewandowski on the edge of the box and, after a fine first touch - just his fifth of the match - the striker fires a powerful shot down the centre of the goal for Casteels to make a rare save.

34'GOAL! Bayern 1-0 Wolfsburg (Gnabry)

GOOOOAAALLL!!! BAYERN 1-0 WOLFSBURG! The champions break down the Wolfsburg wall thanks to some good play between Kimmich, Muller and Gnabry. Kimmich takes the ball past Arnold and then slips it down the line for Muller, who looks up and spots Gnabry four yards from goal. The winger sends the ball past Casteels with a nice outside-of-the-boot finish.

Goal!  FC Bayern München 1, VfL Wolfsburg 0. Serge Gnabry (FC Bayern München) right footed shot from very close range to the high centre of the goal.

37'GOAL! Bayern 2-0 Wolfsburg (Lewandowski)

GOOOOAAALLL!!! BAYERN MUNICH 2-0 WOLFSBURG! Bayern turn on the style to score their second goal in the space of three minutes. James slots the ball through for Gnabry, who unselfishly looks up and squares it to Lewandowski to tap in for his 196th Bundesliga goal. The Poland striker just loves playing against Wolfsburg!

Goal!  FC Bayern München 2, VfL Wolfsburg 0. Robert Lewandowski (FC Bayern München) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Serge Gnabry.

52'GOAL! Bayern 3-0 Wolfsburg (Rodriguez)

GOOOOAAALLL!!! James, who has had another good game, adds his name to the scoresheet with an impressive goal. Boateng cuts out the ball inside his own half and works it to Thiago, who in turn finds James on the edge of the box. The Colombia attacker takes two touches to set himself and passes the ball into the bottom corner with his third.

Goal!  FC Bayern München 3, VfL Wolfsburg 0. James Rodríguez (FC Bayern München) left footed shot from outside the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by Thiago Alcántara.

76'GOAL! Bayern 4-0 Wolfsburg (Muller)

ARE YOU WATCHING!? LOW?!!! BAYERN 4-0 WOLFSBURG! Bayern are looking like champions! Substitute Sanches teases William, sending him one way and then the other, before pulling it back to fellow sub Ribery. Ribery knocks the ball into the path of Muller and the ex-Germany international finds the bottom corner of the net with a first-time finish.

82'GOAL! Bayern 5-0 Wolfsburg (Kimmich)

GOOOOAAALLL!!! BAYERN 5-0 WOLFSBURG! Kimmich joins the scoring with a simple finish at the back post. Wolfsburg completely shut off as Ribery clips the ball to a completely unmarked Kimmich and, despite Casteels rushing across and making himself big, the full-back squeezes it in

85'GOAL! Bayern 5-0 Wolfsburg (Lewandowski)

GOOOAAALLL!!! BAYERN 6-0 WOLFSBURG! This has now officially become a rout! Ribery claims another assist, bringing the ball onto his left and clipping the ball into the middle for Lewandowski to get in front of Brooks and send a header into the far corner. 

Match Report

Robert Lewandowski became the leading foreign goalscorer in Bundesliga history as Bayern Munich hammered Wolfsburg 6-0 to leapfrog Borussia Dortmund and move top of the table.

Borussia Dortmund beat a struggling Stuttgart side 3-1 but Niko Kovac's team collected their 12th win in 13 league games to ensure they became the new league leaders on goal difference.

Bayern have never lost at home to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga and first-half goals from Serge Gnabry - who signed a new contract this week - and Lewandowski set up a comfortable victory at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.

After the break James Rodriguez, Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich added to the scoreline, with Lewandowski scoring his second, and Bayern got the perfect boost ahead of a Champions League second leg against Liverpool by moving above BVB despite their win.
