Harry Kane netted an excellent hat-trick as Bayern Munich continued their unbeaten start to the Bundesliga campaign under Vincent Kompany with a 4-0 win over Stuttgart.
Scorers: Kane 57′, 60′, 80′, Coman 89′
Bayern Munich started the game on the front foot but their early rhythm was broken up after just eight minutes when Pavlovic was forced off through injury.
The rest of the first half saw the hosts dominate the ball without offering any real threat, with neither side able to truly test the opposition shot stopper.
It threatened to continue in the same vein at the start of the second half, but Harry Kane had other ideas. England’s captain broke the deadlock three minutes before the hour with an excellent piece of individual brilliance, curling the ball into the bottom corner from 25 yards, before he converted a much more straight forward chance three minutes later to leave Stuttgart with a mountain to climb.
But they never looked likely to get back into the tie, and Kane completed an excellent hat-trick 10 minutes from time with a left footed effort from six yards that flew into the roof of the net, sealing all three points for Vincent Kompany’s side.
There was still time for another for Bayern, as Kingsley Coman came off the bench to curl the ball into the top corner and rub salt into the Stuttgart wounds.
