Bayern beat Wolfsburg 8-1 as Kane scores and Olise stars

Bayern Munich thumped Wolfsburg 8-1 at the Allianz Arena, Goal reports.

The home side took the lead after five minutes when a cross from Díaz deflected and Wolfsburg defender Kilian Fischer put through his own net, but Dzenan Pejcinovic levelled for the visitors before the half with a finish past Manuel Neuer. Michael Olise, who had earlier set up Díaz’s headed goal, played a starring role after the break—his shot was saved before he curled one into the far corner and later finished a through ball to make it seven.

Bayern added further goals when Moritz Jenz turned an effort into his own net trying to block Díaz, the side scored twice in quick succession as Guerreiro and Harry Kane found the net (Kane’s strike was described as his 20th in his 16th league game), and Leon Goretzka sealed the win with a late goal for his first of the campaign. The report notes a VAR review of a robust Jenz tackle on Kane resulted in no further action.

The piece also says Bayern had been looking to open up an 11-point margin over Borussia Dortmund; the report does not provide updated league standings or further implications for the title race.
