Michael Olise scored and assisted twice as Bayern Munich ran riot, with the Bavarians having netted 20 goals in their last three matches
extended their perfect Bundesliga start as Michael Olise scored two goals and set up two more to give them a 5-0 victory overThe Bavarians, who suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Bremen when the sides last met in a league clash in January, ran out comfortable winners to move up to 12 points from four matches. “ is a great player. We understand each other very well, we talk a lot. The more games we play together, the more chemistry we’ll have.
Bayern, who have scored 20 goals in their last three matches across all competitions, opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when Harry Kane seized possession on the edge of the area and played the ball to Olise, who fired his shot past the Bremen goalkeeper Michael Zetterer. The winger then wriggled his way into Bremen’s penalty area in the 32nd minute and his cutback was turned home by Musiala.
Bayern continued their onslaught after the break and Olise teed up Kane for a shot from the edge of the box, which led to the striker’s 41stgoal, making him the highest-scoring English player in the German top flight’s history. Olise netted his fifth goal in three matches with a delightful sidefooted finish into the top corner and Serge Gnabry, on as a substitute, wrapped up the scoring in the 65th minute.
“It’s been a great week. Credit to the boys for the attitude and mentality,” Kane said. “The way we play on and off the ball has been great. The squad is being used well, the players are getting fitter, we were still pushing after three, four, five goals and wanted to score another.” Bayern were without Manuel Neuer, their veteran goalkeeper, who was named in the starting lineup before pulling out after the warm-up due to a thigh injury, but the change made little difference. His deputy, Sven Ulreich, was untroubled throughout the match and faced no shots on target from a toothless Bremen attack.
