A Harry Kane hat-trick and an early goal from Dayot Upamecano secured a confident win for Bayern against a weak Dortmund in the German Klassiker on Matchday ten of this years’ Bundesliga season.
The first ten minutes seemed like the Borussen were unfocused as they let Bayern highly dominate. A fourth minute header by Upamecano made it 1:0 and Kane extended the Bayern lead shortly after with an amazing pass by Leroy Sane in the ninth minute. Both goals have been assisted by the left-wing – his sixth assist of the season.

Kane managed to score his second goal of the day in the 72nd minute and shortly after scored his second consecutive hat-trick in the 90th+3 minute.
Despite Bayern missing important players like Joshua Kimmich and Matthijs De Ligt, it was an impressive comeback from the record champions after their loss in the DFB-Pokal against third-tier Saarbrücken.
