Harry Kane continued his impressive start to life at Bayern Munich by making history as the top-scoring English player in Bundesliga history.

Olise and Musiala Shine as Bayern Dominate Werder Bremen

Olise, a recent signing from Crystal Palace, opened the scoring in the 23rd minute after a clever lay-off from Harry Kane, showcasing the duo’s growing partnership. Olise’s sharp run and clinical finish gave Bayern the early momentum they needed to control the game.
The France international winger wasn’t done with just a goal. He played a pivotal role in the build-up to Bayern’s second goal, dancing past four Werder defenders before providing a perfect assist to Musiala for a simple tap-in. Olise’s flair and creativity on the wings have made him a vital asset to Vincent Kompany’s side, with his two assists and goal a testament to his growing importance in the squad.
Serge Gnabry Wraps Up Five-Star Bayern Performance
Bayern Munich’s total dominance was further emphasized by Serge Gnabry’s 65th-minute strike, capping a five-goal masterclass against Werder Bremen. After Olise and Harry Kane had put the visitors in the driving seat, Gnabry added Bayern’s fifth goal, cutting inside from the left wing and curling a low shot into the bottom right corner of the net.
Gnabry’s goal followed Olise’s second, which came just three minutes after Harry Kane’s record-breaking strike. The former Arsenal winger’s finishing touch added gloss to an already impressive Bayern performance, as they remain unbeaten in the Bundesliga this season. The win ensured Bayern’s position at the top of the table, boasting four wins from four matches under new coach Vincent Kompany.
