It was however a short-lived joy for the front runners as Paderborn fought back and equalized the scores through Sven Michel, who finished off a fast break five minutes later.

Bayern pressed frenetically and pressed Paderborn into the defence. The host efforts paid off after Lewandowski tapped home Gnabry's square pass to seal the deal with two minutes to the final whistle.

With the result, Bayern stay atop the standings meanwhile Paderborn continue on the last place.

"Paderborn played very well and challenged us. We are happy that we have won the game. It wasn't easy but we know that Paderborn can play football even though they are on the last place," Bayern coach Hansi Flick said.

The following matches are scheduled for Saturday: Borussia Monchengladbach host Hoffenheim, Werder Bremen see Borussia Dortmund, Hertha Berlin face newly promoted Cologne, Freiburg encounter Fortuna Dusseldorf and Schalke clash with runner up Leipzig.
