Bayern Munich thrashed Bayer Levekusen 5-1 on Sunday as Julian Nagelsmann’s side ran riot and silenced a stunned BayArena, scoring five goals by half time to reclaim top spot in the Bundesliga from Borussia Dortmund.
Thomas Muller struck from close range before then setting up Serge Gnabry to get his first of the day.
Gnabry added his second minutes later from Leon Goretzka’s lay-off.
Patrick Schick pulled one back in the second half and although Manuel Neuer made some fine saves there was never any danger of the hosts staging a comeback.
