Jamal Musiala is magic! Attacking midfielder bags brace and Harry Kane scores as Bayern Munich cruise past Hoffenheim on emotional evening

Bundesliga

Bayern Munich

Augsburg

Hoffenheim

RB Leipzig

Bayern dominated from the first minute, carving out chance after chance, but being deprived of obvious opportunities. Musiala changed that with a moment of magic, pinging a shot in off the post from a tight angle. Hoffenheim weren't without threat, though, forcing Manuel Neuer into a duo of decisive stops midway through the second half. But Bayern turned it on as the half wore on. Musiala grabbed a delightful second, before Kane bagged an emphatic third to earn a convincing three points.

TELL ME MORE

Kane may have grabbed the headlines in recent weeks, but Jamal Musiala was the star here. It wasn't just the goals, though. The attacking midfielder floated between the lines, and offered valuable craft throughout. He received a standing ovation after being taken off in the second half — something he richly deserved.

THE MVP

What was Grischa Pomel doing?! Hoffenheim were still very much in the game after 70 minutes, the visitors creating the odd chance and threatening on the break — despite being down 2-0. But the experienced midfielder ruined their chances of a comeback with one foolish moment, catching Mathys Tel with a beyond-silly challenge to pick up his second booking — and effectively kill the game.

THE BIG LOSER

The Bavarians have a mini break to look forward to, and will be out of action until January 21. Kane and co. will next take the field against Werder Bremen in Bundesliga action.
