Bayern Munich, the current leaders of the Bundesliga, travelled to face Stuttgart in Matchweek 13 — a fixture many expected to be a stiff challenge for the champions. Instead, Bayern delivered a ruthless and commanding performance, leaving the hosts with no answers.

Despite creating several early chances, the visitors were slow to convert. The breakthrough finally arrived before the interval when Konrad Laimer finished off a well-worked move to put Bayern ahead. After the break, the floodgates opened.

The second half belonged entirely to Harry Kane. The England captain produced a masterful display, completing a spectacular hat-trick and once again proving why he has become the centrepiece of Bayern’s attack. Defender Josip Stanišić added another goal to round off the night.
