intact as Bayern Munich won again, but it was a
different story for Wolfsburg.
Bayern Munich remain unbeaten in defence of their Bundesliga
title as Pep Guardiola's side thrashed Stuttgart 4-0, while third-
placed Wolfsburg were beaten 2-0 at Mainz.
Arjen Robben, Douglas Costa, Robert Lewandowski and Thomas
Muller did the damage for the champions at the Allianz Arena as
lowly Stuttgart were completely outplayed.
The home fans were also treated to the welcome sight of Holger
Badstuber back in action as the defender came off the bench for
the final half an hour after a long spell out with a thigh injury.
But, while Bayern march on at the summit, Wolfsburg's
challenge faltered as Julian Draxler's early red card cost them
dear at a Mainz side who ended a four-game winless run.
The winger was dismissed after 13 minutes for a high challenge
on Gonzalo Jara, with Pablo De Blasis and Yunus Malli then
scoring for the hosts.
Bayer Leverkusen also suffered the consequences of a red card
as they fell to a 2-1 home loss against Cologne, with Dominic
Maroh netting the winner - his second of the game - following
Kyriakos Papadopoulos's dismissal.
It was goalless in the games between Borussia
Monchengladbach and Ingolstadt, and Hoffenheim and Eintracht
Frankfurt, while the late kick-off saw Hamburg draw 1-1 at
Darmstadt.
