Bayern’s Dominance Continues
FC Bayern Munich maintained their undefeated record in the Bundesliga on Saturday, thrashing VfL Bochum 1848 with a convincing 7-0 victory at the Allianz Arena. The reigning champions displayed their unwavering dominance, extending their lead at the top of the table to six points.
Goals Galore for Bayern
Bayern's scoring spree began in the 10th minute when Leroy Sané opened the account with a composed finish. Just three minutes later, Kingsley Coman doubled the lead with a superb individual effort, leaving Bochum's defense in his wake.
Serge Gnabry joined the party in the 20th minute, tapping in from close range to make it 3-0. The onslaught continued with Thomas Müller scoring twice in quick succession, first with a header in the 30th minute and then with a clinical finish in the 35th. Robert Lewandowski added his name to the scoresheet in the 60th minute, converting a penalty to make it 6-0.
The misery was not over for Bochum as Alphonso Davies completed the rout in the 73rd minute with a thumping strike from distance. The Canadian defender's goal sealed Bayern's emphatic victory, their sixth consecutive win in the Bundesliga.
Bochum's Struggles Continue
VfL Bochum's woes intensified with this heavy defeat, leaving them languishing in 17th place in the Bundesliga standings. The promoted side has now lost four consecutive matches, conceding 14 goals in the process.
Bochum's struggles were evident throughout the match as they struggled to cope with Bayern's relentless pressure and incisive attacking play. Their defensive frailties were ruthlessly exposed as Bayern tore through their backline with ease.
Kane's Future Uncertain Amidst Bayern Links
Amidst Bayern's victory, rumors linking Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane to the German giants continue to swirl. The England captain has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 13 goals in 15 Premier League appearances.
Bayern's sporting director, Hasan Salihamidžić, has openly expressed his admiration for Kane, describing him as "one of the best strikers in the world." However, Tottenham are adamant that their star player is not for sale.
With Robert Lewandowski's contract expiring in 2023, Bayern are reportedly considering Kane as a potential replacement. Should Lewandowski depart, Bayern will likely intensify their pursuit of the England international.
