CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WINNERS Bayern Munich went top of the Bundesliga on Saturday as Thomas Mueller and Serge Gnabry provided the goals with Robert Lewandowski rested for their 2-1 win at Cologne.
Bayern coach Hansi Flick opted to leave out Lewandowski, who scored a record 10 goals in the opening five league games, ahead of their midweek Champions League match at Salzburg and a Bundesliga showdown at Dortmund next Saturday.
RB Leipzig missed the chance to return to the top of the table as their miserable week continued with a 1-0 defeat at Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday evening.
Mueller netted an early penalty and Gnabry finished a counter-attack on the stroke of half-time to leave Bayern 2-0 up at the break.
Cologne improved in the second-half and replacement midfielder Dominick Drexler pulled back a late goal.
Borussia Dortmund climbed to second in the table without star striker Erling Braut Haaland as defender Mats Hummels scored both goals in a 2-0 win at Arminia Bielefeld.
