Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich returned to the top of the Bundesliga with a 2-1 victory over Stuttgart, thanks to goals from Matthijs de Ligt and Eric Choupo-Moting.

Dortmund may have the momentum, but Bayern have the experience of winning this league 10 seasons in a row and they also have great strength in depth, as shown by bringing Mane, Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry on at the same time this evening. A cleaner header and Mavropanos would have scored. Because they held out at the end, this will go down as a classic hallmark-of-champions performance - not at their best, but good enough to get the job done. Choupo-Moting signed a new Bayern contract just yesterday. Subs: Mane 5, Gnabry 6, Sane 5, Pavard n/a, Gravenberch n/a. Just minutes before, De Ligt had cleared off his own line.

Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann toasted a "deserved win from the better team" but said his side needed to "play a bit more seriously at the end." Earlier on Saturday, a flat Union Berlin missed a chance to keep in touch with Bayern and Dortmund, playing out a scoreless draw at home against Cologne. French winger Tanguy Coulibaly had a chance to equalise in the second minute of injury time when he jumped high to head a cross from Hiroki Ito, but his effort went just wide. With just two minutes remaining, the home side gave their fans hope, Tiago Tomas curling in a superb cross to find Perea, who headed past Sommer. The Dutch centre-back put Bayern in front just a minute later, blasting a low shot under Bredlow from outside the box. De Ligt's goal came late in the first half just after he prevented Stuttgart from going ahead, with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting grabbing a second for Bayern midway through the second half.
