"Bayern Munich have been one of the best teams in Europe this season. They maintain their 100% winning record this campaign by clinching a 2-1 win against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Courtesy of the win on Saturday, Bayern Munich opened up a lead of seven points over Dortmund, and five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga points table."
"Vincent Kompany was forced to make a crucial change in the attack since Serge Gnabry was ruled out for the game due to adductor problems. Nicolas Jackson replaced the German forward. The Senegalese played as a number nine, while Harry Kane played just behind him. The duo was effectively two up front with Die Roten switching to a 4-4-2 formation. Unsurprisingly, Bayern started the game strongly as they have done in several games this season."
"Kobel was forced into making another great save in the 11th minute as Michael Olise's curling effort was going into the goal. Harry Kane and Konrad Laimer combined brilliantly in the buildup of the game, with the English forward dictating the attacking moves by dropping deep. The visitors were living dangerously in the first 20 minutes of the game. Bayern eventually got the reward for their fantastic start in the 22nd minute through a set-piece. Kimmich's pinpoint delivery from the corner allowed Kane to head the ball past Kobel. The English forward showed great movement to beat the marker."
