End of 2nd Half
FT
Full-time: Julian Nagelsmann manages his first league victory as Bayern Munich boss, but only just. It was a gritty performance from the hosts, who conceded twice in less than 60 seconds but found a winner.
90'
Bayern deal with a Cologne free-kick delivery with ease as they inch closer to three points. THREE minutes to be added on!
89'
Bayern sub: Chris Richard comes on for Davies as the hosts look to protect their slender lead.

Save! Muller ushers Musiala in behind the defence but Horn races off his line to block the shot before racing back to keep out Lewandowski's header!
85'
Lewandowski tries an outrageous lob from the halfway line but it doesn't come close to goal. Considering his quality, it was worth a go, wasn't it?
84'
Plenty for Nagelsmann to be pleased with today, despite conceding twice in two minutes. Another goal for Lewandowski, of course, as well as an assist for Muller. But it's the performance of teenager Musiala that will have pleased him the most.
81'
Bayern are seemingly now content to sit back and watch Cologne dominate the ball. It's a dangerous game as the visitors have shown they have goals in their locker.

Almost! Lewandowski goes agonisingly close to putting the game beyond Cologne's reach, firing a left-footed shot just over the crossbar.

GOAL! Bayern Munich 3-2 Cologne (Serge Gnabry): Question marks over the goalkeeper here, but Bayern won't care as Gnabry grabs his second to give the hosts the lead once more! Horn opts to punch a cross clear rather than catch and Gnabry finds space on the right, smashing the ball into the top corner.

62'
GOAL! Bayern Munich 2-2 Cologne (Mark Uth): I don't believe it! Cologne are level! It's sloppy marking from Upamecano as he loses Uth and the Cologne forward punishes him, finishing Modeste's pinpoint cross with an instinctive shot.
