Full-time! Wolfsburg 1-2 Bayern
Bayern stay within four points of leaders Leverkusen, after a workmanlike win. First-half goals from Musiala and Kane did the damage against a spirited Wolfsburg, who end the year down in 10th place.

Super Manu!
Arnold with another trademark rocket. It's swerving, but straight at Neuer, who bats clear.

Close!
Arnold swings an asking ball into the six-yard box for Tiago, but he can't bring it under wraps. Needed a first-time finish, that.
82'
Worth a crack!
Kane's upended 25 yards from goal. Sané hits a knuckle-ball over the wall from the free-kick, but it's easy for Casteels.

Denied!
Kane sweeps an effort goalwards from close range. The goalkeeper gets a touch, before diving on the ball at the second attempt as it wriggled through his legs - though Kane was clearly offside when he made contact.

Chance not taken
Upamecano sends a ball up towards Sané. He skips inside, but his attempted pass is a touch too casual and Wolfsburg can clear.
63'
Defensive change
An indication of the threat Wolfsburg are posing as Tuchel hooks Müller, with de Ligt coming on to shore things up defensively.

Substitution

Right idea
Rogerio skips away from Laimer and sends a ball into the box that Davies does well to clear with green shirts lurking. Wolfsburg are causing Bayern problems...
54'
No way through
Müller tries to feed Sané in the box, but Jenz sees off the threat. Wolfsburg are doing a fine job of keeping Bayern in check so far this second half.
52'
Fresh legs
Majer scored at the weekend, but he hasn't been involved much at all today. Tomás is on in the Wolfsburg attack.

Out of nothing!
Arnold halves the deficit with a fabulous strike from outside the Bayern box. It just had too much power for Neuer.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Shot speed
Shot speed
Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.
Distance to Goal

Pick that out!
Here we go again. Kane collects Müller's pass around 20 yards from goal, takes a touch and arrows a brilliant finish into the far corner. That's his 21st Bundesliga goal of the season, and one of his best yet!

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

28'
Wide!
Another warning shot for Wolfsburg as Sané powers into the box and crosses for Müller. It takes him by surprise, though, and ping-pong ensues. Guerreiro eventually takes on a first-time shot from 14 yards, sliding it wide.
26'
Denied!
Kane spins and plays a peach of a pass into the box for Musiala. He spins to face goal, but Jenz slides in to block the shot. So much more than just a goalscorer, the Bayern No.9.
24'
Sané strike!
Sané pings a free-kick up and over the Wolfsburg wall, but it's straight into the arms of Casteels.

First Bundesliga booking for the youngster
Pavlovic shows his physical side, perhaps too much as he gets a booking for tangling with Arnold.

Bayern continue to stroke the ball around with confidence, albeit without making any real in-roads in the final third.

Svanberg bursts through the Bayern defence, but his shot lacks the power to seriously trouble Neuer, who gets down to make a routine save.

More on those teams
Bayern are unchanged from the win over Stuttgart, with Pavlovic and Guerreiro again the midfield partnership in the absence of Kimmich and Goretzka. As for Wolfsburg, Zesiger replaces the suspended Lacroix and Arnold returns at the expense of Gerhardt.
News from Germany
Sky Germany are reporting that Kimmich and Goretzka did not travel to Wolfsburg. If that's the case, Tuchel will almost certainly keep faith with Pavlović and Guerreiro in the centre of midfield.
The standings
Bayern can move back to within a point of Leverkusen, if they win and the leaders lose at home to Bochum. The current gap is four points, though Tuchel's men have a game in hand against Union Berlin to come in January. Ninth-placed Wolfsburg could climb to eighth, or fall as low as 14th.
Golden Shoe race
Bayern's Player of the Month has outscored everyone across Europe's top five leagues so far this season, with 24 goals for Bayern, including 20 in the Bundesliga.

Red-hot Kane
Bayern's English star, Kane, is a slight doubt due to a cold but he has otherwise been red-hot since landing in the Bundesliga. He extended his record to 20 goals from just 14 appearances by scoring twice last weekend.
