Bayern Munich Boss Carlo Ancelotti 'Delighted' With Thomas Muller After Wolfsburg Win

Bayern Munich manager Carlo Ancelotti has praised Thomas Muller after he ended his goal drought in Saturday's 5-0 thrashing of Wolfsburg.

The Germany international had failed to score in the opening 13 games of the Bundesliga season and ended a 999-minute run without a goal when he scored his side's fourth of the day.

Ancelotti conveyed his satisfaction with his side's performance, and claimed that he never doubted Muller despite his lack of goals.

"Our performance was good," he told theBayern Munich official website. "We were in control after the first goal. We sometimes had a little luck scoring the goals.

"The players feel at ease in this system, we can play both systems. I'm delighted for Thomas Müller. He always does a good job out on the pitch.

"The goal will help him, but I don't judge his performances based solely on goals. He works hard for the team."

Muller himself echoed Ancelotti's comments on the team's showing, adding:"We're top of the table again. That'll make it a good Christmas party! We've played quite decent football in the last few matches.We want to build on it in the last two matches and celebrate Christmas as league leaders."

The win over Wolfsburg meant that Bayern replaced newly promoted RB Leipzig at the top of the Bundesliga table. The former league leaders suffered their first defeat of the season, losing 1-0 at bottom club Ingolstadt.
