Lewandoski On Target As Bayern Spank Bochum 

Bayern Munich topped the Bundesliga for the first time this season with a 7-0 thrashing of Bochum on Saturday as Robert Lewandowski scored for a record 13th consecutive home league game.

Joshua Kimmich netted twice while Lewandowski poached a second-half goal to claim another league record as Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting all scored for Bayern.

Greek defender Vasilios Lampropoulos scored a first-half own goal as Bochum ran out of luck at the Allianz Arena.

"Bochum worked hard, but everything went right for us after the first goal," Sane told Sky.

Bayern will lose top spot if Wolfsburg maintain their 100 per cent record with a fifth straight win on Sunday against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Bayern have won their last seven games, scoring at least three goals on each occasion, with Dortmund, Leipzig and Barcelona on the list of defeated opponents.

Bochum, who have now won just once in 35 games at Bayern, were 4-0 down at halftime.

"We were just really up for it," said Bochum-born Bayern midfielder Leon Goretzka, who extended his contract in mid-week until 2026.

"It was fun for us. Not so much for Bochum which I regret, personally."

Bayern head coach Julian Nagelsmann made three changes from starting side which won at Barcelona on Tuesday and was pleased with the "manner of the win. None of our goals came from being greedy, we're on the right path." (Reuters)
