Bayern crush Leipzig 6-1 to live up to coach Kompany's prediction

On his 100th appearance in the Bundesliga, Harry Kane scored as Bayern Munich dominated RB Leipzig 6-1, securing the top spot in the table. Luis Diaz contributed with a hat-trick, while Aleksandar Pavlovic and Michael Olise added goals. Diaz scored twice in the first half, followed by Olise's goal 95 seconds into the second period.

Kane marked his milestone with a goal in the 88th minute. Leipzig recovered with a consolation goal from Andrija Maksimovic in injury time. Bayern dominated the match, registering 17 shots on target, while Leipzig managed only one. Dortmund's goalless draw with Union Berlin earlier meant Bayern started the day top of the table with 14 points.

They would need a win over Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday to overtake Freiburg, who are two points clear at the top. Bayern will face Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday, October 21st at Allianz Arena. Leipzig's inconsistent start to the season continues, with three home wins and three away defeats in their opening three matches.
