Bayern Munich defeated Werder Bremen 5-0, earning a third consecutive road win to kick off Vincent Kompany’s reign as the club’s manager. Bremen came into the match on its own undefeated streak, but Bayern quickly turned the match into a one-sided affair.
Michael Olise opened the scoring in the 23rd minute while Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, and Serge Gnabry also found the back of the net. Olise added another goal in the 60th minute, recording his second brace of the week.
Bayern dominated possession (70%), and scored five goals with only seven shots on target. Despite the 20 goals in the past three games, Musiala seemed most pleased with finally earning a clean sheet.
In his postgame interview (via @iMiaSanMia), Musiala said, “Our attack is currently very good. Our pressing, everything off the ball we’re doing well. It was important to keep a clean sheet, which we haven’t always done recently. We have a lot of quality upfront, stability in midfield, we’re enjoying our football at the moment. We’ll have tough games coming up. Same plan against Leverkusen? I don’t know what the coach is planning. But I don’t expect much to change.”
After the tumultuous season under Thomas Tuchel, Kompany has the squad flying high in every match. Next weekend, Bayern heads into a showdown at the Allianz Arena with reigning league champions, Bayer Leverkusen.
