Bayern Munich secured their third consecutive Bundesliga victory on Sunday evening, defeating Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 at Allianz Arena. The match was a closely contested affair with both teams creating numerous opportunities throughout the game.
The opening goal came in the 6th minute when Bayern's Thomas Müller found space in the box and slotted home from close range. Bayer Leverkusen were quick to respond though, with a well-taken equalizer by Kevin Volland in the 27th minute. However, Bayern's dominance was soon shown as they took the lead again just three minutes later through a fine individual effort from Robert Lewandowski.
Lewandowski's second goal arrived in the 45th minute, following another excellent run from him down the right wing before slotting past Leverkusen goalkeeper Jan Oblak. The lead was increased further in the 68th minute, with Bayern's own star player, Robert Lewandowski, scoring his fourth goal of the season. This was followed up by a stunning strike from Thomas Muller in the 74th minute, which put Bayern ahead for good.
Kane also made his mark during the match, scoring two goals to take his tally for the season to four. His first goal was a brilliant finish from inside the penalty area after receiving a pass from Harry Kane, who had earlier scored his own brace. Kane's second goal came in the 64th minute, this time from the penalty spot after being fouled by Leverkusen defender Leon Bailey. Kane has now become one of the most prolific strikers in world football, and he is showing no signs of slowing down.
Musiala, the young talent that has been making waves in German football recently, also shone brightly. He scored his first goal for the club in the 66th minute, finishing off a flowing move involving himself and Joshua Kimmich. Musiala's performance was a testament to the progress that Bayern have made in recent years, and it will be exciting to see how much more he can develop in the coming seasons.
Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable match between two strong sides, and it will be interesting to see how Bayern continue to perform in the upcoming matches. With Kane and Musiala continuing to make an impact, there is plenty of reason to believe that Bayern Munich will remain at the top of the Bundesliga table for some time to come.
