SUPER-SUB HARRY KANE HAT-TRICK SEALS BAYERN MUNICH'S 5-0 VICTORY
Kane's 27-minute hat-trick was the highlight of the Bundesliga weekend. Also, Wolfsburg ended a year-long home drought, while Heidenheim and St. Pauli snatched dramatic late points.
Harry Kane came off the bench and scored a hat-trick as Bayern Munich cruised to a 5-0 win against Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. It was a Saturday filled with late-game drama.
Kane's second-half goals put the game away, after Stuttgart had put up a good fight. St. Pauli and Heidenheim both scored late goals to snatch points.
Bayern, playing their fifth game in two weeks, rested some usual starters against Stuttgart. Manuel Neuer, Kane, and Jonathan Tah all began on the bench.
Even with those players out, Vincent Kompany’s team started strong. Nicolas Jackson had an early chance, and then Konrad Laimer scored with a nice backheel in the 11th minute.
Stuttgart came back strong and was unlucky. Nikolas Nartey’s header was disallowed due to offside after a VAR review.
Bayern regained control when Kane entered the game.
The English striker made it 2-0 from just outside the box. Josip Stanisic added a third goal twelve minutes later.
Kane scored a penalty after a handball and completed his hat trick with a late goal.
He now has 17 league goals and 28 goals in 22 games across all competitions.
In other news, Christian Eriksen helped Wolfsburg get their first home win in almost a year, defeating Union Berlin 3-1.
Wolfsburg hadn’t won at home in 14 games. However, they surprised Union with two well-executed first-half goals from Patrick Wimmer and Mohamed Amoura.
After halftime, Eriksen took advantage of a mistake by Stanley Nsoki and set up Lovro Majer for the third goal.
Union scored late, but Leopold Querfeld missed a penalty.
Augsburg surprised Leverkusen with a 2-0 victory in their first game after firing their coach, Sandro Wagner.
Dimitrios Giannoulis scored early, and Anton Kade added another goal with a header.
St. Pauli avoided their tenth straight loss with a 1-1 draw at Cologne. Heidenheim came from behind for the second week in a row, beating Freiburg 2-1.
Cologne was on track for a win after Said El Mala scored, but Ricky-Jade Jones scored with St. Pauli’s first shot of the game.
Just a week after scoring twice late against Union, Heidenheim did it again against Freiburg.
Patrick Mainka equalised after Johan Manzambi’s opener. Then, Stefan Schimmer scored in the 94th minute to give Heidenheim the win.
BAYERN MUNICH FACE MAJOR DECISION ON LEON GORETZKA AS EUROPEAN GIANTS CIRCLE NOW
Leon Goretzka’s future at Bayern Munich is uncertain as Tottenham and Napoli show interest. Discover why Vincent Kompany wants him to stay.
The winter transfer window is just around the corner, and as usual, Bayern Munich's name is popping up in transfer rumours all over the place. But the top guys at the club keep saying they won't be bringing anyone in this January.
As for players leaving, there's talk about guys whose contracts are almost up. Leon Goretzka is one of them, and he's been linked to a bunch of clubs lately.
Apparently, Bayern hasn't offered Goretzka a new deal yet. They're looking at younger midfielders to possibly replace him in the summer. Tottenham, Napoli, Fenerbahce, and Atletico Madrid are all said to be interested in snagging Goretzka this winter.
Sky Sports Germany says that Vincent Kompany thinks highly of Goretzka. The coach wants him to stay and appreciates what he brings to the field.
On the other hand, The Athletic is saying that the rumours about Goretzka going to Tottenham are off base. Apparently, Tottenham isn't trying to get him. Goretzka is also said to be locked in on finishing out the season strong with Bayern.
Goretzka's still got a job to do at Bayern.
Aleksandar Pavlovic has kind of jumped ahead of Goretzka in the lineup. The young midfielder played great in the first half of the season.
Goretzka's been coming off the bench lately. Even though he's not a starter right now, Goretzka can still help the team in the second half of the season. His experience will be really important in those big Champions League games. Plus, he can play different positions if needed. He can fill in on defence or be an attacking midfielder. A guy like that could be really helpful for Bayern as they try to win it all.
Right now, it looks like Kompany is happy with his team. Other than Sacha Boey, Bayern isn't expected to let go of any senior players this winter. Since Bayern is competing in three different competitions, Kompany will need everyone to play their best.
CONFIRMED: FABRIZIO ROMANO VALIDATES BAYERN MUNICH INTEREST IN €50M-RATED BRAZILIAN FORWARD RAYAN.
Bayern Munich eyes Vasco’s Rayan for a €50m summer move. Read how the 19-year-old fits into the 2026 attack alongside Harry Kane.
Bayern Munich had a decent summer with player transfers, though the timing could've been better. The club isn't planning on getting anyone new in January, but they're lining up deals for the summer.
Besides big-name signings, Bayern's also keeping an eye on young talent. They seem pretty interested in a top Brazilian prospect.
According to UOL in Brazil, Bayern is talking more with Vasco's forward, Rayan, and his people. The 19-year-old is up for joining Bayern, and Vasco is waiting for an offer. Word is, Vasco wants close to €50 million for himself.
Fabrizio Romano, the football transfer guy, also said Bayern is keen on Rayan. He knows there's been contact, but Rayan's just one of several players Bayern's looking at to beef up their attack.
Since Vasco might want a lot for Rayan, Bayern could be thinking about putting him straight into the first team. The kid can play on the right or behind the main striker. He's had a great season with Vasco, scoring 20 goals in all competitions.
Rayan's stats make him sound like a scoring machine, but he might need a bit to get used to the Bundesliga. Since Bayern has enough players in attack, Rayan could get time to adjust.
Bayern will need to get a forward next summer.
They let go of three experienced forwards over the summer and signed Luis Diaz for keeps, and Nicolas Jackson is on loan from Chelsea. Lennart Karl has really stepped up and is now a regular in the squad this season.
Max Eberl recently hinted that they probably won't buy Jackson permanently next summer. So, Bayern will need someone who can fill in for Harry Kane and play on the wings if needed.
Someone like Rayan might not be ready to back up Kane just yet. If Bayern gets the Brazilian forward, they'd still need another number nine to add some depth to the attack. Bayern might not spend a ton on forwards this summer, but there will definitely be some fresh faces in that part of the team.
