Harry Kane scored his 15th goal of the season as Bayern Munich thumped rock-bottom Bochum 5-0 to go top of the Bundesliga table on goal-difference.
The Bavarians, who were looking to recover from their 4-1 thrashing by Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, had to weather an early storm against the hosts.
But they soon found their rhythm and took the lead on 16 minutes, courtesy of a deft free-kick from Michael Olise on the edge of the box.
Jamal Musiala, who was on the bench for the Barca defeat with a hip injury, made his return to the line-up and doubled the Bavarians’ lead with a header from Joshua Kimmich’s free-kick 10 minutes later.
Bochum brought on Cristian Gamboa in the second half but it made little difference to their defending. Kane made it 3-0 just before the hour mark with a ferocious finish after being teed up by Musiala, and substitute Leroy Sane capitalised on a mistake at the back to grab the fourth in quick-fire fashion.
Kingsley Coman completed the rout with arguably the goal of the game, letting fly from distance with his shot crashing in off the underside of the bar.
The result puts Bayern level on points with RB Leipzig, but the Bavarians have a superior goal difference at the summit of the table while Bochum remain bottom.
