Welcome to the meat grinder! Bayern annihilate Bochum to go top of the league

Bayern hosted Bochum in the Bundesliga matchday 5 and made sure the visitors remember this day for a long time. Seven goals without reply made Bayern’s week a remarkable one. A fine 4-1 win away at RB Leipzig and the 3-0 drubbing of Barcelona in the Champions League was followed by a seven-goal slaughtering of poor Bochum.The German champions have moved to the Bundesliga top spot for the first time this season, at least temporarily. Wolfsburg could overtake them again on Sunday when they play Frankfurt, but the manner of the latest win will surely give loads of confidence to the Bavarians.

Leroy Sane opened the scoring with an early free kick, but it was a day for Robert Lewandowski to score a record 13th consecutive home league game.Joshua Kimmich netted twice while Lewandowski poached a second-half goal to claim another league record as Serge Gnabry and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting also scoring. To make things even worse for Bochum, their Greek defender Vasilios Lampropoulos gave the hosts a bit of unnecessary help by scoring a first-half own goal at the Allianz Arena.BUNDESLIGA – Round 5FridayHertha Berlin – Greuther Furth 2-1 (0-0)/Ekkelenkamp 61, Bauer 79 og – Hrgota 57 pen/SaturdayArminia Bielefeld – Hoffenheim 0-0Augsburg – Borrusia Monchengladbach 1-0 (0-0)/Niederlechner 81/Bayern – Bochum 7-0 (4-0)/Sane 17, Kimmich 27, 65, Gnabry 32, Lampropoulos 43 og, Lewandowski 61, Choupo-Moting 79/Mainz – Freiburg 0-019.30: (3.80) Koln (3.60) RB Leipzig (2.05)Sunday16.30: (3.40) Stuttgart (3.60) Leverkusen (2.20)18.30: (1.38) Dortmund (5.40) Union Berlin (8.50)20.30: (1.88) Wolfsburg (3.70) Eintr.Frankfurt (4.40)***odds are subject to change
