Bayern Munich appear to be over their second-half slump after grabbing a lead against Stuttgart, courtesy of Arjen Robben's thunderous strike.
It was vintage Robben, as the Dutch midfielder played a nice give-and-go with Mitchell Weiser before finding himself free in the Stuttgart box.
Weiser's bouncing pass left Robben with no choice but to unleash a nasty volley to give Bayern a 1-0 lead just minutes before halftime.
It's been a promising start to the match after Bayern were only able to accumulate one point in the two matches since the end of the winter break.
