The Germany international climbed off the bench to score twice at the Allianz Arena, where he had not found the net in the German top flight since an 8-1 rout of Mainz in March.

Musiala's 11th Bundesliga appearance of the season was his first as a non-starter.

However, he said the breather was welcome and made him feel rejuvenated upon entering the contest, before taking his goal tally for the campaign to 12 in all competitions.

"Recently, I've played a lot of games in a row," he said. "That's why it was good that I got a break and came back energised.

"I've finally scored here in the [Allianz] Arena again. It feels good to celebrate with the fans."

Vincent Kompany's side got back to winning ways following their 1-0 defeat by Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB Pokal on Tuesday, in which Manuel Neuer was sent off early on.

And the Bayern boss was pleased by the response of his players.

"We started this week with a tough schedule, played 70 minutes with 10 players against Leverkusen, so it was always a dangerous game for many reasons," he told reporters during his post-match press conference.

"The first half was very good, possession was fluid. The second half - although we stayed calm when we conceded - the last 15 to 20 minutes, the feeling for Heidenheim is totally justified that they are still in the game.

"Stillinplay, we created a lot of chances. It was a tough week. We scored four goals. It was still a very, very good day."
