Bayern 3-2 Wolfsburg: Goretzka Stars As Bavarians Win On Home Turf

Leon Goretzka scored twice for Bayern Munich as it beat Wolfsburg 3-2 and retained a four-point lead in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Bayer Leverkusen kept pace by beating Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-1 in the late game, when Florian Wirtz starred again with two goals and setting up Patrik Schick for the third. Goretzka fell out of favor at Bayern last season but reminded the club’s bosses of his qualities by scoring twice for the first time since March.
