The Wolves scored a second in the 81st minute when Mattias Svanberg finally converted one of his many chances. “We take the three points and move forward." “We scored three goals from the first three chances, which made it easier for us.” But the triumph over Wolfsburg also showed plenty of shortcomings that a more effective opponent might have better explored.

Bayern Munich held on despite Joshua Kimmich's send-off to beat Wolfsburg 4-2 and return to the top of the Bundesliga on Sunday.

“We were too careless after the third goal, not concentrated enough and we allowed a bit too much. “The result was important, the victory matters above all else,” Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said. Kimmich was sent off with his second yellow card in the 54th but Wolfsburg was unable to make its dominance count as the visitors delivered a lesson in efficiency.
