Robert Lewandowski scored his 11th league goal this season as Bayern Munich went top of the Bundesliga table on Saturday with a 3-2 win at Borussia Dortmund.

After Marco Reus put the hosts ahead, Bayern defender David Alaba blasted home a free-kick to make it 1-1 at half-time behind closed doors in Dortmund.

Lewandowski gave Bayern the lead with a superb header just after the break before Leroy Sane grabbed the visitors' third while Erling Braut Haaland gave Dortmund hope with a late goal.
