"It was far from pretty, but Bayern Munich came from behind to beat FC St. Pauli at home 3-1 after they had gone 1-0 down by virtue of a goal from Andreas Hountondji in just the 6th minute. It took stoppage time goals from Luis Díaz and Nicolas Jackson to grind out the 3 points for Vincent Kompany's side after Raphaël Guerreiro had made it 1-1 shortly before the halftime break."
"St. Pauli sat back deep behind the ball, especially after having gone 1-0 up and really made Bayern work to find their chances and it looked like the Bundesliga champions were going to be in for a frustrating afternoon. Diaz's header and Jackson's breakway goal relieved what would have been more frustration for Bayern just days after suffering their first loss of the season to Arsenal in the Champions League."
"I think today was a win of the belief. We kept going after we went behind, we got unlucky hitting the woodwork three times. We faced an opponent that defended deep with a back five, so it wasn't easy to break them down. In the end the two goals in stoppage time were a relief. I think it was a deserved win, Neuer stressed (via @iMiaSanMia)."
Bayern Munich overturned an early 1-0 deficit to defeat FC St. Pauli 3-1 at the Allianz Arena. Andreas Hountondji opened the scoring in the sixth minute before Raphaël Guerreiro levelled shortly before half-time. St. Pauli defended deep with a back five, forcing Bayern into repeated efforts and leaving the champions frustrated after hitting the woodwork three times. Luis Díaz headed home in stoppage time and Nicolas Jackson finished a breakaway to seal the win. The late goals avoided a demoralising result days after a loss to Arsenal and create tactical and selection questions ahead of the DFB-Pokal tie.
