Bayern Munich beat Greuther Furth 4-1 in Bundesliga

Team MVR

Two goals from Robert Lewandowski saw Bayern Munich maintain a six-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga on Sunday.

Bayern, who lost at promoted Bochum last weekend, came from behind to beat bottom club Greuther Furth 4-1 thanks to a second-half brace from Lewandowski.

The win keeps the league leaders comfortably ahead of Dortmund.

Branimir Hrgota gave Furth the lead with a deflected free-kick shortly before half-time.

Having lost Corentin Tolisso to injury midway through the first half, Bayern appeared to be facing yet another miserable afternoon.

But the champions bounced back just seconds after the restart, Lewandowski bundling the ball over the line from close range after a sharp run down the right from Serge Gnabry.

They took the lead just after the hour when Sebastian Griesbeck turned a Thomas Muller cross into his own net to score an own goal against Bayern for the second time this season.

Furth refused to roll over, with Max Christiansen and Marco Meyerhoefer both hitting the post a few minutes later.

Lewandowski ended the resistance 10 minutes from time, nodding the ball in from close range after Niklas Suele had set him up with a pinpoint header across the face of goal.

Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting completed the comeback with a tap-in in injury time.
