Schalke 0-2 Bayern Munich: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Lewandowski Nets in Win for German Giants

Bayern Munich maintained their perfect record this season and returned to the top of the Bundesliga table with a routine 2-0 win on the road to German giants Schalke 04, who are without a point after four league games.

The hosts barely had a touch of the ball in the opening exchanges of the match and Bayern Munich took the advantage inside eight minutes. James Rodríguez capitalised on some slack defending from a set piece and found the back of the net with a powerful downward header.

The likes of David Alaba and Robert Lewandowski continued to knock at the door but were unable to really test Ralf Fährmann.
