Munich - FC Bayern München came from behind to maintain their perfect start to the season as two late goals from Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Müller gave them a 2-1 win over local rivals FC Augsburg.

After an initial spell of Augsburg pressure, Bayern soon took control and pegged their guests back in their own half with Thiago Alcantara sending the first chance off target. Marwin Hitz was not being tested much, however, and apart from Thiago's effort, he was able to rely on his defence to keep Bayern's attack at bay. Augsburg were waiting for their moment, and it came just before half-time when Ja-Cheol Koo tucked his pass back for Alexander Esswein to hammer an unstoppable effort into the top right-hand corner.

Robert Lewandowski tested Hitz early in the second half as Bayern, keen to avoid their first defeat of the season, inevitably increased the pressure. Xabi Alonso fizzed in a free-kick which Hitz repelled, but he could do nothing when a Müller effort fell for Lewandowski to bring Bayern level. And there was enough time left for Müller to earn the hosts all three points from the penalty spot after Douglas Costa was blocked in the area by Markus Feulner.

Man of the Match

Thomas Müller has scored in all four of Bayern's Bundesliga games this season, and he is unsurprisingly the Bundesliga's top goalscorer with six goals. As well as bagging the winner, he also set up the equaliser for Lewandowski.

Talking point

"They've got a good team and a great coach," were the words of Pep Guardiola, who not for the first time picked Markus Weinzierl out for praise on the eve of his latest meeting with the Augsburg coach. Guardiola's nemesis was within minutes of getting one over the Catalan for the third time in the Bundesliga, but for two late strikes that salvaged a fourth straight victory of the season from the jaws of a first defeat.
