Champions Bayern Munich ended Paderborn’s dream start to the season with a 4-0 demolition of the Bundesliga new boys last night, with Mario Goetze netting twice and new signing Robert Lewandowski getting off the mark.

The win lifted Bayern two points clear at the top on 11 from five games, two clear of Mainz 05 who drew 2-2 against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Minnows Paderborn, whose budget is five million euros a year, had arrived in Munich as unexpected leaders after two wins and two draws in their first four games, taking the top division by storm in their first season.

But Bayern, despite missing several players through injury, handed out an attacking lesson.

Goetze put the hosts ahead in the eighth minute.

Lewandowski opened his account six minutes later with a superb shot from 18 metres.

Goetze tapped in from close range in the 78th to more accurately reflect Bayern’s dominance before Mueller completed a quick move five minutes before time.
