Bayern Munich came from behind as a Robert Lewandowski brace helped the Bavarian giants secure a much-needed victory against a resolute Wolfsburg side on Wednesday night.

The visitors came out firing and took a surprise lead when Maximilian Philipp capitalised on a mistake from Leroy Sané with a thumping finish. However, goals either side of half-time from Lewandowski put Bayern on course for three points after a series of crucial saves from Manuel Neuer.

With his match-winning double, Lewandowski becomes the third player to pass the 250-goal mark in the Bundesliga, the first non-German to achieve the feat.

Here are your Bayern Munich player ratings from the Allianz Arena.


1. Goalkeeper & Defenders

Manuel Neuer (GK) - 8/10 - Made a host of brilliant saves throughout the clash as he kept his side in the game. Where would Bayern be without him?

Niklas Süle (RB) - 6/10 - A decent outing for the German centre-half as he came in at right-back for the rested Benjamin Pavard.

Jerome Boateng (CB) - 7/10 - Picked out Lewandowski for the winner with a sumptuous grounded pass from near the halfway line. Defensively solid.

David Alaba (CB) - 6/10 - Looked shaky dealing with the threat on the left side of defence but bettered his display in the second half.

Lucas Hernández (LB) - 8/10 - A superb tackle in the first half to regain possession and an unbelievable block in the second half to deny Jerome Roussillon - a great performance.


2. Midfielders

Tolisso (DM) - 6/10 - Helped dictate the tempo of play as he provided the balance between defence and attack for the hosts.

Serge Gnabry (RW) - 6/10 - Failed to gobble up an exquisite Coman cross and didn't contribute much going forward otherwise.

Thomas Müller (CM) - 7/10 - His link-up play at the heart of the attack shone at times but couldn't really impose himself on the game as he usually does.

Kingsley Coman (CM) - 8/10 - Set up the equaliser with a delicious cross and didn't let Kevin Mbabu breath all game. A top-drawer performance from Bayern's best winger on current form.

Leroy Sané (LW) - 5/10 - Made an error leading to Wolfsburg's opener and was wasteful in front of goal.


3. Forward

Robert Lewandowski (ST) - 9/10 - Just another day at the office for Robert Lewan-goal-ski as his brace helped spare Flick's blushes. He just keeps smashing those records, doesn't he?


4. Substitutes

Douglas Costa - NA

Marc Roca - 5/10 - Came on on 70 minutes but didn't have much impact.

Jamal Musiala - 6/10 - The youngster looked bright after coming on alongside Roca.
