FRANKFURT, October 29 (Bundesliga) - Bayern Munich did it the hard way again by coming from behind to beat Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night.

Martin Demichelis' own goal gave struggling Eintracht the lead early in the second half before goals from Franck Ribery and Miroslav Klose turned the game around.

Jurgen Klinsmann's men were two goals down to Wolfsburg at the weekend before fighting back to win 4-2.

But while the defending champions continued to make things difficult for themselves, their early-season wobble looked well and truly over as they picked up their third straight win.

Indeed, they are just four points off top spot, with home and away games against both leaders Hoffenheim and second-placed Bayer Leverkusen still to come.

Ribery could have given his side an easier ride had he taken a glorious chance to open the scoring in the 22nd minute.

Bastian Schweinsteiger's excellent pass sent the France winger clear, but he tried to be too clever with his lobbed finish and keeper Oka Nikolov made a comfortable catch.

And that miss looked even more costly when Nikos Liberopoulos' 55th-minute drive took a deflection off the foot of Demichelis, wrong-footing keeper Michael Rensing, and nestled in the bottom corner.

Ribery and Klose though combined twice in the space of five minutes to rescue the game for Bayern.

In the 65th minute, Ribery played a pinpoint pass down the right channel to pick out Klose in the area 12 yards out and the Germany striker drilled a shot inside the far post.

And the Frenchman, who had started the fightback against Wolfsburg, finished it this time with the winner in the 70th minute, slotting home Klose's cross.

Marco Russ might have nicked a point for the hosts late on when his fierce effort just cleared the bar, but Bayern are back in the title hunt.
