He opened the scoring in the 23rd minute with his first goal of the game after he was teed up by Harry Kane, who latched on to a misplaced pass at the edge of the opposition’s box. The Englishman wasted no time playing a through ball into the center of the box, leaving Olise with only the goalkeeper Micheal Zetterer to beat, which he did in sublime fashion by placing the ball in between the goalie’s legs.
The Frenchman proved he offered more than just goals as he provided his first assist of the game to Jamal Musiala. After dribbling down the right side, Olise played a pass to Musiala, who scored from very close range into an empty net in the 32nd minute.
The visitors got their third goal in the 57th minute with Olise and Kane combining once again. This time, the Frenchman turned provider for the England international, who got his ninth Bundesliga goal of the season, and his 41st in the league, making him the highest scoring Englishman in the history of the German top-flight.
Olise then got his brace just three minutes later after Serge Gnabry unselfishly gave him a back pass inside the box and he wasted no time putting the ball into the top left corner of the net.
The final goal of the game was scored by Gnabry in the 62nd minute, with the German forward sending a right-footed curler into the bottom right of the post to make it five for Bayern.
Joshua Kimmich came close to making it six in the 83rd minute, but his long range effort hit the crossbar, and the Germany international will have to wait for his first goal of the season.
The win ensured Bayern extended their dominating start to the season, and remain atop the league standings with 12 points after four wins from as many games, scoring 16 goals and conceding only three.
