November 04, (THEWILL) – Bayern Munich sent out an ominous warning to the rest of the Bundesliga with a comprehensive 4-0 thrashing of rivals Borussia Dortmund in Saturday’s Der Klassiker.
The Bavarian giants stormed into an early lead thanks to goals from Dayot Upamecano and Harry Kane inside the opening 10 minutes. Upamecano powered home a header from a corner before Kane pounced on a defensive lapse to double Bayern’s advantage.
Dortmund improved after the break but struggled to create clear-cut chances and were picked apart on the counter-attack. Kane grabbed his second of the afternoon midway through the second half after racing through to finish coolly. The England striker completed his hat-trick deep into stoppage time to round off a perfect away performance for Bayern.
Kane’s treble, along with Upamecano’s early opener, condemned Dortmund to a heavy home defeat and again reinforced Bayern’s status as Bundesliga favourites this season. The clinical victory in Germany’s biggest grudge match demonstrated the firepower Bayern possess and highlighted Dortmund’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Manager Thomas Tuchel will be delighted with his side’s ruthless display, while counterpart Edin Terzic has plenty to ponder after seeing his team dismantled by their arch-rivals.
