Mats Hummels netted his first Bundesliga goal for Bayern Munich as Carlo Ancelotti's side battled to a 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.
The Germany international returned to the club from fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund in the close-season and made a decisive intervention at the Allianz Arena to end a poor run of form for his team.
Ancelotti kept faith with just four of the starting XI from the shock 3-2 defeat at Rostov in the Champions League in midweek, and the fresh faces - including Hummels - managed to help end their three-match winless run in all competitions.
Surprise leaders RB Leipzig had increased their advantage over Bayern to six points with a 4-1 win at Freiburg on Friday, but the four-time defending champions were able to respond despite being below their best here.
