Bayern Munich, the European giants, have regained their position at the top of the Bundesliga with a crucial 2-1 victory over Stuttgart. Matthjis de Ligt, the defender, scored the first goal for Bayern in the 39th minute with a low strike from distance, while Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who extended his contract for one year yesterday, doubled their lead in the 62nd minute after receiving a fine pass from Jamal Musiala and Thomas Muller.

Juan Jose Perea scored a goal for Stuttgart two minutes before the end of the match, but Bayern Munich managed to hold on and secure all three points at the Mercedes-Benz Arena. With 23 games played by each team, the win has propelled Julen Nagelsmann’s side to the top of the Bundesliga table, ahead of arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund on goal difference.

Watch the highlight:

Dortmund had previously overtaken Bayern Munich with a three-point lead after defeating RB Leipzig 2-1 on Friday, but Bayern’s win against Stuttgart has put them back in first place.
