Bayern Munich thrashed RB Leipzig 6-1 to move top of the Bundesliga table, with Harry Kane scoring in his 100th league appearance. Luis Diaz hit a hat-trick, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Michael Olise also on target in a dominant first half that left Leipzig reeling. Diaz opened the scoring in the 12th minute after latching onto a Joshua Kimmich pass, then turned provider by setting up Pavlovic for a powerful near-post finish. Olise extended the lead before half-time, firing into the bottom corner following a link-up with Kane.
Diaz struck again 95 seconds after the break, curling into the far bottom corner for his second. Kane tapped in from Nathaniel Brown's cut-back to make it 5-0, marking his century of Bundesliga games with his 102nd goal in the competition. Diaz completed his treble with a right-footed drive from the edge of the box in the 70th minute. Andrija Maksimovic replied with a top-corner strike in stoppage time, Leipzig's first shot on target coming in the 78th minute. Maarten Vandevoordt made 11 saves, but Bayern's 17 shots on target underscored their dominance.
Bayern's attacking depth was on full display with Diaz scoring three and Olise adding a goal on his home debut. If Vincent Kompany's side can maintain this level, their early-season defensive concerns may quickly fade.
