Bayern avoid massive flop, rivals run wild
Two goals from Bundesliga top scorer Robert Lewandowski has saved Bayern Munich from a gigantic flop as the league leaders came back to beat bottom of the table Greuther Furth 4-1.

Lewandowski headed home an assist from Niklas Sule to complete his brace and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting added a late fourth.

Reus broke the deadlock in the 26th minute shortly after Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel pulled out a great save to deny Gladbach the opener.
Donyell Malen squeezed an effort past Yann Sommer to stretch the
