Now we're back on top we want to stay there, says Bayern boss Kovac

Dortmund returned to winning ways with a late 3-1 victory over Stuttgart, but Bayern are two goals better off with nine matches remaining.

And Kovac wants Bayern, 5-1 winners at Borussia Monchengladbach last time out, to maintain their high standards.

"I'm very satisfied with the match, I liked the way we played, we were never in trouble," he told the club's official website.

"We should have scored more goals. It was a good continuation of the Gladbach match.

"We are where we wanted to be, at the top of the table, and we want to stay there.

"But nothing's happened, we still have many matches."

Wolfsburg arrived in Munich unbeaten in five Bundesliga matches and eyeing fifth place.

But they were well beaten and coach Bruno Labbadia had no complaints.

He said: "There's no point beating around the bush. We saw a very, very strong FC Bayern team whereas we were weak.

"The margin of victory was deserved. Many things didn't work as they usually do, we failed as a team. We must accept that, even if it hurts."
