Harry Kane and Michael Olise are unstoppable! England striker ends Bundesliga goal drought and France winger runs riot as Bayern Munich seal win against St Pauli

Bayern returned to action after a costly international break which saw Vincent Kompany lose Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano to injuries. However, Bayern needed just 17 minutes to open the scoring when Kane ended a mini-drought in the Bundesliga with the opening goal. Jamal Musiala won possession deep in the St Pauli half and, although he was then tackled, the ball fell kindly to the overlapping Michael Olise to cross for Kane to convert from close range.

Yet St Pauli stunned the hosts by grabbing a deserved equaliser just 10 minutes later A good move down the right saw the ball curled into the penalty area and knocked past goalkeeper Jonas Urbig by Elias Saad after a great run forwards into the box.

Bayern hit back early in the second half through Leroy Sane. Again Olise was the creator, the France international clipping a ball over the top for Sane to chest down and smash a low shot home to make it 2-1 to the hosts. Olise then could have had a goal of his own but crashed a powerful shot into the side-netting after good work from Musiala.

Kompany's side went on secure the points by adding a third with just 20 minutes remaining. Kane played a one-two with Olise and then scampered forwards before sending the ball in for Sane to score his second of the match.

St Pauli did reduce the deficit deep into stoppage time through Lars Ritzka but it proved to be only a consolation as Bayern restored their six-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.

Kane has now scored against all 19 clubs he has faced in the Bundesliga; in Bundesliga history only Miroslav Klose has faced more different clubs and scored against them all (28).

Olise may not have been able to get his name on the scoresheet but he was absolutely vital to the win and played a part in all three goals. The first was a perfect cross that left Kane with the simple task of knocking the ball home before he knocked a wonderful ball over the top for Sane to make it 2-1. Olise and Kane then combined to hand Sane his second of the afternoon in a fine showing by the Bayern attack.

Injuries in defence meant that Vincent Kompany opted to start Raphael Guerreiro at left-back against St Pauli. However, the Germany star looked something of a liability defensively in an error-strewn display for the Bavarian giants and it was no surprise at all to see him hooked on the hour.

Bayern return to action on Friday in the Bundesliga as they travel to Augsburg.
