Luis Diaz scored in stoppage time to lead Bayern Munich to a 3-1 win over St Pauli at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
Diaz headed in a Harry Kane cross to send Bayern in front in the third minute of injury time.

Bayern youngsters Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof took turns hitting the post before Diaz acrobatically created the leveller.
Kane hit the woodwork with 10 minutes remaining but was crucial in Diaz’s late strike, lofting a ball goalwards for the former Liverpool forward to head home, before Chelsea loanee Jackson added a third with the final kick of the match.
Elsewhere, Heidenheim scored twice after the 90th minute to snatch a 2-1 away win at Union Berlin and climb off the foot of the table.
