January 11, (THEWILL) — Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to 11 points following a dominant 8-1 victory over Wolfsburg at the Allianz Arena. Michael Olise scored twice in the rout, while Harry Kane reached 20 league goals for the campaign.
The home side took an early lead when Kilian Fischer deflected Luis Diaz’s delivery into his own goal after five minutes. Wolfsburg responded through Dzenan Pejcinovic, who found the net in the 13th minute to level the scores temporarily.
Bayern regained control before half-time when Diaz headed home from Olise’s cross at the far post. The second period saw the floodgates open, with Olise curling in a strike five minutes after the restart before his centre led to another own goal from Moritz Jenz.
Kane turned provider for Raphael Guerreiro in the 68th minute before bending a magnificent effort in off the crossbar moments later. Olise added his second goal with 14 minutes remaining, driving the ball past Kamil Grabara to continue the onslaught.
Leon Goretzka completed the scoring two minutes from full-time, finishing from a narrow angle to seal an emphatic result. The victory reinforced Bayern’s position at the Bundesliga summit with a comprehensive performance against their opponents.
