Bas Dost scored twice in the first half and Kevin de Bruyne added two more goals after the break as Bayern, who had conceded only four times in the first half of the season, saw their goals against tally double in a single game.

Juan Bernat replied for the Bavarians 10 minutes into the second half while Wolfsburg goalkeeper Diego Benaglio twice thwarted Bayern's Dutch winger Arjen Robben.

Wolfsburg, with 37 points from 18 games, have cut Bayern's lead to eight points, although it would still take a dramatic turnaround for the title holders to be caught.
