"Bayern Munich's unbeaten start to their Bundesliga title defence continued as they came from behind to thump RB Leipzig 5-1 at Red Bull Arena on Saturday. Bayern had been stunned by Romulo's opener, but Vincent Kompany's runaway leaders turned it up a notch in the second half, with all five of their goals coming after the break. Leipzig dominated a chaotic opening 20 minutes, with Romulo thwarted by the feet of Manuel Neuer before Antonio Nusa somehow stabbed Yan Diomande's inviting cross wide."
"Olise had not often found himself on the Bayern bench in the Bundesliga this season, but once he replaced Lennart Karl in the 56th minute, he delivered a sensational showing that further proved the quality that Kompany has at his disposal. Indeed, Olise became the second player on record (since 2004-05), to assist three goals after coming on as a substitute in a Bundesliga match, following in the footsteps of Bayern legend Franck Ribery, who did so against Wolfsburg in 2019."
Bayern Munich extended their unbeaten Bundesliga start by overturning an early deficit to beat RB Leipzig 5-1 at Red Bull Arena. Romulo put Leipzig ahead by sliding home David Raum's delivery after a sweeping passing move. Bayern equalised five minutes into the second half when Dayot Upamecano intercepted and set up Serge Gnabry to score. Harry Kane gave Bayern the lead in the 67th minute with a composed finish from Michael Olise's centre. Late in the match Jonathan Tah, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Michael Olise added three goals in six minutes to seal the win. Olise, introduced in the 56th minute, assisted three times, matching Franck Ribery's Bundesliga record for most assists by a substitute.
