Wolfsburg consolidate second place in the Bundesliga table by coming from behind to beat FC Koln 2-1.

Naldo struck 12 minutes from time to complete a Wolfsburg comeback as they consolidated second place in Bundesliga with a 2-1 victory over FC Koln.

Bas Dost quickly cancelled out Dominic Maroh's 11th-minute opener but had to wait until late for Naldo to secure them an eighth home win of the season.

Only runaway leaders Bayern Munich have won more games on the road than Koln this campaign, and the visitors made a bright start at the Volkswagen Arena.

Maroh controlled Daniel Halfar's dink over the top to drive past Diego Benaglio at the near post, but Koln's advantage lasted for only five minutes.

Sebastian Jung crossed early from the right flank after spotting the run of Dost, who nodded powerfully beyond Timo Horn from 10 yards.

It was another towering header which snatched Wolfsburg the points as Naldo rose to meet Kevin de Bruyne's corner at the far post for his fifth goal of the season, and second in as many matches.

Remarkably, it was the 14th time that the Brazilian defender has found the net in 81 games in a Wolfsburg shirt, and was an escape route for a side who were struggling to create open-play chances.

It was Koln who had previously come closest to a third goal and they also finished strongly, with Halfar and Anthony Ujah denied by Benaglio in stoppage time as Wolfsburg went six points clear of Bayer Leverkusen.
