Harry Kane scored his first hat-trick of the season as Bayern Munich routed promoted Holstein Kiel 6-1 to climb back to the top of the Bundesliga table.

Kane’s first-half double, coupled with Jamal Musiala’s opener and a Nicolai Remberg own goal, had Bayern 4-0 up by half-time at the Holstein Stadion, and substitute Michael Olise’s first goal for his new club and a late Kane penalty simply cemented a perfect start to the campaign despite substitute Armin Gigovic’s late consolation strike.

Champions Bayer Leverkusen responded to the loss of their 35-game unbeaten league run against RB Leipzig last time out with a resounding 4-1 win at Hoffenheim.

Pulling the strings in Saturday's early Bundesliga title showdown between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen will be 21-year-old Germany forwards Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz. The midfielders, born within 10 weeks of each other in 2003, have combined brilliantly at international level, but will go head to head at Munich's Allianz Arena this weekend. While the match, held against the backdrop of Munich's Oktoberfest, comes just five games into the season, it will give the victors early bragging rights in what is likely to be a tight title race.
