BERLIN (Reuters) - VfL Wolfsburg, with Manchester City target Kevin De Bruyne missing from the squad, went top of the Bundesliga by beating Schalke 04 3-0 thanks to two goals in three minutes on Friday.

The absence of the Belgium midfielder, who is expected to join City for a Bundesliga record transfer, did not distract the Wolves as they took the lead when Dutchman Bas Dost volleyed the ball in from Christian Traesch's cross in the 17th minute.
