Bayern Munich secured their third league victory of the season against VfL Bochum on Sunday night, with Thomas Müller scoring twice and Kevin De Bruyne adding one more goal in a dominant display at the Allianz Arena.
Kane’s hat-trick sealed his place as the Bundesliga’s leading scorer for the season, despite being substituted in the final stages due to fatigue. The former England striker has scored 27 goals across all competitions this term, including four in the Champions League.
Müller, who had been struggling with ankle injuries throughout the season, made up for his absence by netting two goals. His performance was particularly impressive, with the German forward creating several chances and showing great vision from midfield.
De Bruyne also contributed significantly to Bayern’s success, providing assists for both of Müller’s goals and setting up another goal for Julian Nagelsmann’s team.
The match saw Bayern dominate possession and control the tempo of the game, with VfL Bochum unable to find much rhythm or create any clear-cut opportunities. This resulted in a comfortable 5-1 win for the hosts, who now move up to second place in the table behind leaders Borussia Dortmund.
The result is a significant boost for Bayern’s confidence heading into their upcoming matches, which include a trip to Stuttgart next weekend and a home clash against Hoffenheim on September 4th. With Kane continuing to shine and the rest of the squad performing well, it looks like Bayern Munich will be challenging for the title once again this season.
