Bayern Munich 3 Hannover 1: Goals from Arturo Vidal, Kingsley Coman and Robert Lewandowski seal victory for Jupp Heynckes side

BAYERN MUNICH got back to winning ways as they grounded out a hard-fought 3-1 win over Hannover.

Goals from Arturo Vidal, Kingsley Coman and Robert Lewandowski sealed the three points for Jupp Heynckes side at the Allian Arena.

Bayern started the match in blistering fashion, with Vidal, Lewandowski and Thomas Muller all going close in the opening ten minutes.

And they finally made the breakthrough in the 17th minute when the former Juventus midfielder guided his header into the bottom right corner.

Thomas Muller found the Chilean international inside the box, and Vidal made no mistake for his fourth of the season.

The home side then thought they had made it 2-0 just seven minutes later, but Lewandowski's strike was overturned by the video review system. The drama didn't end there, as Hannover were awarded a penalty in the 26th minute, but goalkeeper Sven Ulreich denied Niclas Fullkrug's shot from nestling in the bottom left corner.

But they were back on level terms in the 35th minute when Charlison Benschop fired Andre Breitenreiter's side level with a close range finish from six yards out. Bayern bossed the entire second half, and should have netted through James Rodriguez, Mats Hummels and Coman on multiple occasions.

But they finally regained the lead when Coman found the roof of the net with a fierce left-footed strike in the 67th minute. And Lewandowski wrapped up the victory when the Polish hitman coolly slotted his spot-kick into the bottom right corner in the 87th minute.

The Bundesliga leaders extend their lead at the top of the table by six points, after RB Leipzig lost 4-0 to Hoffenheim.
