Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich needed stoppage-time goals from Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson to beat strugglers St Pauli 3-1 on Saturday, coming from behind for the second straight week and also hitting the woodwork three times.
Diaz headed in for a 2-1 lead early in stoppage time and Jackson slotted in their third goal as the hosts bounced back from their first defeat of the season in all competitions with Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Arsenal in the Champions League.
Bayern, who set a league record with 44 consecutive matchdays at the top of the table and remain undefeated in the league this season, are on 34 points after 12 games.
RB Leipzig are second with 26 following Friday's 0-0draw at Borussia Moenchengladbach. St Pauli dropped to 17th on seven points following their ninth straight league loss.
The Bavarians, who also scored multiple goals in their 20th consecutive Bundesliga match to equal the league record, were 1-0 down in the sixth minute when St Pauli pressed high and won possession, with Andreas Hountondji netting a powerful shot.
With more than 80% of possession in the first half, the hosts desperately tried to come back as they had done last week when they recovered from two goals down to crush Freiburg 6-2.
They hit the post with Lennart Karl's curler in the 23rd and again through Tom Bischof's deflected effort 12 minutes later after top scorer Harry Kane came close with a shot of his own.
Raphael Guerreiro, however, made no mistake when he drilled in from a Diaz assist a minute before halftime to level.
Bayern were again in control after the break but St Pauli stayed compact and disciplined. Kane volleyed against the post late on before Diaz put them in front early in stoppage time. Jackson made sure of the win, with his effort at the very end.
