European champions Bayern Munich went top of the Bundesliga on Saturday as Thomas Mueller equalled Oliver Kahn’s record for most league wins in the famous shirt in Saturday’s 2-1 victory at Cologne.
Mueller, converted an early penalty to put the visitors on the way to a success which saw him match the tally of legendary goalkeeper Kahn on 260 league wins.
An early header by Gnabry led to Cologne defender Marius Wolf giving away the 13th-minute penalty which Mueller scored.
Gnabry added the second on the stroke of half-time when he rolled the ball into the net to finish a counter-attack.
Cologne improved in the second half and substitute midfielder Dominick Drexler pulled back a late goal.
Robert Lewandowski, who scored 10 goals in the opening five league games, was rested ahead of Bayern’s midweek Champions League match at Salzburg and the Bundesliga showdown at second-placed Dortmund next Saturday.
Dortmund climbed to second, despite resting striker Erling Braut Haaland, as defender Mats Hummels scored both goals in a 2-0 win at Arminia Bielefeld.
