Robert Lewandowski scored an injury-time winner as Bayern Munich snatched a 2-1 win at Freiburg as the Bundesliga resumed on Friday after the winter break.

Lewandowski, last season's top scorer in Germany, showed his class with two superb strikes on a freezing night at Freiburg's sold-out Schwarzwald Stadion.

Having volleyed Bayern level in the first half to cancel out Freiburg's shock early lead, the striker chested the ball down, flicked it off his left foot and fired home off his right for the late winner.

The victory leaves Bayern six points clear of second-placed RB Leipzig, who host Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

Freiburg, who stunned Bayern with a shock 2-1 defeat when the sides last met at the Schwarzwald Stadion in May 2015, took an early lead on four minutes.

Bayern defender Mats Hummels' miss-hit clearance early on fell to Freiburg's Italian Vincenzo Grifo, who played Janik Haberer into the area and he produced a stunning finish to beat Manuel Neuer.

Freiburg enjoyed a string of half chances as Bayern looked far from sure of themselves.

But the visitors, who are chasing their fifth straight German league title, drew level when Lewandowski showed his class.

Having been denied at close range when Freiburg captain Mike Frantz blocked his shot on 35 minutes, Lewandowski volleyed home home the resulting corner from Douglas Costa as Bayern went into the break at 1-1.

But things did not improve for Bayern in the second half as Freiburg defended doggedly and tried to catch the guests on the break.

Bayern boss Carlo Ancelotti brought on winger Franck Ribery and wing-back Juan Bernat to inject some pace on the flanks for the final 20 minutes.

It was Ribery's cross which led to Lewandowski's winner and the Poland international showed a world-class finish for his 14th league goal of the season to deny mid-table Freiburg a point.
