Bayern Munich made it seven consecutive wins in the Bundesliga after overcoming Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena.
Goals from Thiago Alcantara, Leon Goretzka and Robert Lewandowski maintained their 100% winning start to 2019, amid a spirited fightback from the visitors.
Bayern took the lead in the fifth minute, when Thiago met Kingsley Coman's low cross, before placing clinically beyond goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler.
The hosts threatened an onslaught, only for their opponents to respond on 25 minutes. Striker Anastasios Donis picked up the ball from 25 yards out and dispatched a curling effort past the helpless Manuel Neuer, for his third goal this term.
