October 19, (THEWILL) – Bayern Munich reclaimed their position at the top of the Bundesliga with a commanding 4-0 victory over Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. The match saw Harry Kane end his four-game goalless streak with an impressive second-half hat-trick, propelling Bayern back to the summit of German football.
The first half remained goalless, with Stuttgart holding their ground against Vincent Kompany’s charges. However, the deadlock was broken in the 57th minute when Kane’s long-range effort found its way past Stuttgart goalkeeper Alexander Nuebel.
The England captain quickly doubled Bayern’s lead just three minutes later, skilfully guiding the ball through a crowded penalty area. Kane completed his hat-trick in the 80th minute, capitalising on a loose ball to score his third goal of the match.
This marked his sixth hat-trick for Bayern Munich and brought his total goal tally for the German giants to an impressive 57 across all competitions. French forward Kingsley Coman added a fourth goal in the final minute to seal the comprehensive victory.
Earlier in the day, RB Leipzig had temporarily claimed the top spot with a 2-0 win against Mainz. Goals from Xavi Simons and captain Willi Orban secured the victory for Leipzig, maintaining their unbeaten record in the Bundesliga this season. The win sets them up well for their upcoming Champions League clash with Liverpool.
