Bayern Munich have made it 50 games unbeaten in the Bundesliga with a 6-1 thumping of Wolfsburg.
Dieter Hecking's side started very determined and were closing down Bayern's space as often as they could inside the opening 10 minutes, which was restricting the away team a lot.

Just as Bayern started to take control of the game, with a Xherdan Shaqiri shot not strong enough to beat Diego Benaglio, Wolfsburg went up the other end and took the lead.
Naldo managed to get to a whipped Kevin de Bruyne delivery first and he nodded an effort past Manuel Neuer for a shock lead.
However, the advantage did not last long as within 10 minutes Bayern were level. Dante and Rafinha both had shots blocked before Shaqiri followed in to tap in a rebound.
In the second half the floodgates opened. Thomas Muller put his side in front after latching onto a Thiago Alcantara through-ball to round Benaglio and tap in.

It quickly became 3-1 as Mario Mandzukic came off the bench to score and Franck Ribery added a fourth on 71 minutes to put the result beyond any doubt.
Even so, there was still time for two more goals as Arjen Robben found Muller for the fifth, before Mandzukic wrapped up the scoring with 10 minutes to play.
