BAYERN Munich beat Wolfsburg 2-0 to remain top of the Bundesliga on goal difference on Saturday, just ahead of Borussia Dortmund and Schalke.
All three are level on 40 points, but Bayern will be looking nervously over its shoulder after Dortmund brushed Hoffenheim aside 3-1 and then Schalke came from behind to win 4-1 in Cologne.
Dortmund was already 3-0 up at home through two goals from Shinji Kagawa and another from Kevin Grosskreutz, before league topscorer Mario Gomez's 60th-minute strike allowed Bayern a sigh of relief. Dutch winger Arjen Robben sealed the points in an edgy win for Bayern with a goal in injury time.
Lukas Podolski gave Cologne a fourth-minute lead in the late game, striking from 25 meters for his 15th goal of the season.
However, Ciprian Marica equalized in the 60th when Christian Fuchs sent in a fantastic cross, and the Romanian striker scored again 12 minutes later off the rebound after Klaas Jan Huntelaar hit the post.
Huntelaar made the game safe from the penalty spot in the 78th, after defender Miso Brecko was sent off.
Marco Hoeger added another in the 82nd.
Werder Bremen drew 1-1 with Bayer Leverkusen, Hamburger SV won 2-1 at Hertha Berlin, and Augsburg and Kaiserslautern played out a 2-2 draw.
