On the ropes from the get-go, Wolfsburg bowed to the pressure in the 18th minute when Arjen Robben stepped inside of Ricardo Rodriguez and nonchalantly curled into the far corner to give Bayern a well-deserved lead. Bayern did not look back and duly doubled their lead moments later, with Lewandowski expertly digging Arturo Vidal's deflected strike out from under his feet and rolling home his 10th Bundesliga goal of the season from close range.

Lewandowski added to his tally shortly before the hour-mark, adjusting his body to divert Thomas Müller's low drive beyond the hapless Diego Benaglio. With Wolfsburg long resigned to defeat, Müller popped up with his first Bundesliga goal since Matchday 32 of last season, before substitute Douglas Costa got in on the act to complete a supremely polished afternoon's work for the record champions.

Talking point

Carlo Ancelotti's decision to drop his preferred 4-3-3 setup in favour of a more familiar 4-2-3-1 formation is working wonders for Bayern. The defending champions have played with far greater cohesion and menace in their last two games, but looked as slick as they ever have under the Italian strategist against the Wolves.
