Goretzka brace helps Bayern to beat Wolfsburg
Leon Goretzka scored either side of half-time to help Bayern Munich to a 3-2 win over Wolfsburg, increasing its lead at the top of the Bundesliga to seven points.
After Leroy Sane had hit the crossbar early on, Goretzka fired Vincent Kompany's side ahead in the 20th minute with a fine effort that struck the woodwork on its way in.
But the hosts' lead lasted just four minutes when Mohammed Amoura fired the ball beyond Manuel Neuer for his seventh Bundesliga goal of the season.
Bayern, however, restored its advantage six minutes before the interval when Michael Olise struck from distance, with his strike squirming past Kamil Grabara.
The league leader kept its foot on the accelerator after the break and was rewarded when Goretzka nodded home his second of the day after being picked out by Olise.
Wolfsburg set up a nervy finish when Amoura grabbed his brace after an excellent run from substitute Tiago Tomas, but Bayern was able to hold on for the win.
Bayern is now unbeaten in its past 28 top-flight home matches against Wolfsburg. No team has faced an opponent at home so often without losing.
