Bayern edges past Stuttgart in an easy fixture

Bayern Munich continued their winning streak after a flashy 1-0 victory in midweek clash against Manchester United, which ousted them from the European elite competition, as they secured a blitzkrieg thump over top-four rivals Stuttgart, scoring three goals without reply, thus surmounting pressure on Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who have emerged to be strong title contenders this season owing to the likes of Xhaka, Boniface coupled with strict vigil from boss and former Spanish midfield metronome Xabi Alonso.

Bayern had got the start they wanted banking on home support, as it took less than two minutes to get their first of the night. The Kane-Sane duo was instrumental for the first goal, where the German and former Manchester City star Sane slid the ball past to Kane, who was well positioned to score the first goal from a point-blank range, giving the hosts a well-deserved lead.
