Sadio Mane scores on Bundesliga debut as Bayern Munich rout Frankfurt - in pictures

Bayern Munich got their quest for an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title off to the best possible start, thrashing an overwhelmed Eintracht Frankfurt 6-1 away at Deutsche Bank Park on Friday.

Former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane scored on his league debut when he nudged a 28th minute header past goalkeeper Kevin Trapp.

The Senegalese was one of five goalscorers for Munich, allaying fears Bayern may be toothless up front after the summer exit to Barcelona of Robert Lewandowski.

Joshua Kimmich, Benjamin Pavard, Jamal Musiala (two) and Serge Gnabry also got on the scoresheet for the Bavarians.

Asked after the match if Munich winning the Bundesliga was beginning to feel like "normality", Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann unsurprisingly said he was happy with the status quo.

"When you win 10 in a row, yes it starts to feel normal," he told broadcaster DAZN. "But I don't really care if it feels normal or not - but yes, it can stay 'normal'.

"The first half was oustanding. I don't think it'll always be like this, but we should be satisfied."

Kimmich opened the scoring in the fifth minute via a free kick, with his shot bouncing in off the post past a stunned Trapp, who may have had his vision obscured by dense fog caused by the pyrotechnics of his own home fans.

French defender Pavard scored just five minutes later, volleying in a loose ball across his body in a manner reminiscent of his goal of the tournament against Argentina in the 2018 World Cup.

Despite the opening onslaught, the next stages belonged to the home side, who had two clear cut chances to peg one back.
