Bundesliga: Thomas Muller scores late penalty in Bayern Munich win

Thomas Muller scored a 90th minute penalty against Augsburg to keep Bayern Munich’s 100 per cent league record intact.

Muller kept his nerve to score his sixth goal of the season to help Bayern beat their Bavarian rivals Augsburg 2-1.

It came in the 90th minute of a game Bayern had been chasing since early on, and Muller, who has passed on the penalty-taking duties to Arjen Robben a few times recently, was not his usual confident self as he stepped up in front of the South Stand of the Allianz Arena with the score tied at 1-1.

"That really put me under a lot of pressure, in the 90th minute," Muller said on his club's website.

"To take a penalty in the 90th minute - it certainly puts butterflies in the belly even of an experienced player like me."

Alexander Esswein's strike had put Augsburg ahead at the Allianz Arena, but Robert Lewandowski struck to level the match with 13 minutes left.

Bayern are joined at the top of the division by Borussia Dortmund, who also continued their winning run when beating Hannover 4-2 at the HDI-Arena.

Hannover grabbed an early lead through Artur Sobiech but Dortmund hit back through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's and Henrikh Mkhitaryan's.

Sobiech levelled after the interval, but Felipe's own goal and an Aubameyang penalty - the second of the game - were enough to secure a routine away win. 

Elsewhere, Stuttgart lost 2-1 at Hertha Berlin and remain winless this season while Bayer Leverkusen were dispatched 1-0 at home by Darmstadt and Wolfsburg drew 0-0 with Ingolstadt.

Bayern Munich beat Augsburg at the last with Thomas Müller penalty

Thomas Müller scored a disputed last-minute penalty for Bayern Munich as they beat Augsburg 2-1 and maintained their 100% start to the season.

Alexander Esswein stunned Bayern when he struck for Augsburg two minutes before the break but Robert Lewandowski equalised in the 77th and Müller made no mistake from the spot after Markus Feulner was adjudged to have fouled Douglas Costa.

Video replays showed it was a soft decision with the Bayern player running into Feulner and then falling. “I don’t like to win like that,” the Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said.

The Bayern players took to the field holding hands with children on either side, a migrant youngster on one side, in what the club said was “a symbol for the integration of refugees” and the home side dominated possession but struggled to make leeway early on.

Müller twice went close before Marwin Hitz made a great save to deny Thiago Alcântara. Esswein struck for Augsburg with what was the visitors’ only shot on target. They had four shots altogether, compared to 27 for Bayern.

Guardiola brought the France Under-21s winger Kingsley Coman on for his Bundesliga debut in the second half but the 19-year-old who claimed on Thursday he could “make the difference in every minute” failed to back up his words.

Bayern increased the pace and Lewandowski finally made the breakthrough when he stabbed home from close range after Hitz blocked Müller’s initial effort. The German international made sure after Costa’s late fall that Bayern kept pace with Dortmund at the top.
