A late goal by Serge Gnabry secured Bayern Munich a hard-fought 3-2 Bundesliga victory at Wolfsburg on Sunday and gave their new coach Vincent Kompany a winning start.

Wolfsburg began brightly but it was the visitors who made the better chances in the first half, taking the lead after fine work by Frenchman Sacha Boey down the right to set up Jamal Musiala for an easy tap-in.

Bayern made a poor start to the second half, however, as they gave away a penalty after Tiago Tomas was brought down by Boey, and Lovro Majer made no mistake from the spot.

Wolfsburg created all kinds of trouble for the visitors’ defence and Majer scored again in the 55th minute.

Winger Jakub Kaminski‘s own goal brought Bayern on level terms before Gnabry struck to secure all three points for the Bavarians.
