Ancelotti happy to win ugly after record start

Carlo Ancelotti was happy for illness-hit Bayern Munich to win ugly in Saturday's 3-1 comeback victory against Ingolstadt as the Bundesliga giant finally conceded a goal this season.

Ancelotti replaced Pep Guardiola as Bayern's head coach at the start of the season and the Bavarians scored 20 goals without reply in winning its first five competitive games.

Its 5-0 Champions League drubbing of Rostov on Tuesday meant Bayern enjoyed the best start to a season in the club's history - bettering the start to each of Guardiola's three seasons in Bavaria.
