Bayern Munich 3-1 St. Pauli: Bundesliga leaders move eight points clear
Bayern Munich moved eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table after Luis Diaz helped secure a 3-1 win against St. Pauli.
Luis Diaz scored a 93rd-minute goal for Bayern Munich as they beat St. Pauli 3-1 to move eight points clear at the Bundesliga summit.
Raphael Guerreiro cancelled out Andreas Hountondji's opener for St. Pauli before Diaz and Nicolas Jackson both found the back of the net in stoppage time at the Allianz Arena.
The home fans would have been hoping for a win after their loss to Arsenal during the week, but they were silenced after just six minutes when Hountondji was slipped through on goal by Pereira Lage and beat Manuel Neuer at the near post.
Bayern pushed for an equaliser, with Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof both striking the woodwork, but they found the leveller through Guerreiro on the stroke of half-time. Luis Diaz managed to find Guerreiro in the box with an improvised pass, allowing the defender to smash home from close range.
Bischof went close again for Vincent Kompany's side, but failed to test Nikola Vasili with his volley at the back post, before Harry Kane saw a shot blocked after the hour mark as Bayern enjoyed the majority of possession.
Kane struck the inside of the left post with 10 minutes to go, but Diaz then headed past Vasili from Joshua Kimmich's cross before Jackson also slotted past the goalkeeper from a quick counter-attack to secure all three points at home.
