Bayern floor Ingolstadt
Illness-hit Bayern Munich conceded their first goal of the season before roaring back with a 3-1 win at home to Ingolstadt to stay top of the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Having scored 20 goals without reply winning all of their first five competitive games, including Tuesday's 5-0 Champions League drubbing of Rostov, Bayern leaked their first goal of the season with just eight minutes gone at Munich's Allianz Arena.
Captain Philipp Lahm, defender David Alaba and forward Thomas Mueller were all out with a virus, as was cold-sufferer Mats Hummels, and Ingolstadt took advantage of Bayern's lack of key figures early on.
Australia international Mathew Leckie broke down the left wing and set up Paraguay striker Dario Lezcano, who stroked his shot past Manuel Neuer to silence the 75,000-strong crowd.
The lead lasted just four minutes as Robert Lewandowski curled his shot past the reach of Ingolstadt's goalkeeper Orjan Nyland for his 11th goal of the season for club and country.
Ingolstadt finished the half stronger, but Bayern were not to be denied a sixth straight win this season.
