Bayer Leverkusen moved three points clear at the top of the table with a 2-1 victory at home to Bochum. Manuel Friedrich put the ball into his own net to give Bochum the lead after 32 minutes, but the defender made amends with a goal at the other end of the pitch nine minutes later.

Stefan Kiessling's strike completed the comeback after 68 minutes to give Leverkusen a slight cushion over nearest challengers Hamburg, Schalke and Borussia Monchengladbach.

Hamburg face Cologne tomorrow and Borussia Moenchengladbach beat Mainz 2-0 last night, while Schalke had their unbeaten start to the season ended by newly-promoted Freiburg this afternoon. Cha Du-Ri scored the only goal for the visitors five minutes before the interval to earn Freiburg their first victory since returning to the top flight.

Bayern Munich earned their first Bundesliga win under new coach Louis van Gaal, defeating defending champions Wolfsburg 3-0 at the Allianz Arena. Arjen Robben marked his Bayern debut with goals in the 69th and 81st minutes, to add to Mario Gomez's first-half opener.

Hoffenheim also got off the winning mark with a 1-0 success at Hannover, courtesy of Carlos Eduardo's goal shortly before the interval.

Ioannis Amanatidis was on the scoresheet for Eintracht Frankfurt in their 1-1 draw at home to Borussia Dortmund, who had taken the lead through Mohamed Zidan.

Nurnberg are still looking for their first victory of the season as they played out a goalless draw with Stuttgart.
