Bayern Munich secured a comfortable 4-1 victory against RB Leipzig at Red Bull Arena. Lewandowski’s early penalty put pressure on the hosts immediately and forced the hosts to come out and attack - leading to an end-to-end contest.
An injury to Gnabry late in the first half meant Musiala’s introduction as an enforced substitute - which changed the match entirely. A goal and an assist from the Germany international in less than 10 minutes after the restart effectively ended the match as a contest.
Leipzig managed to steal one back just four minutes after going down 3-0, when Laimer’s unbelievable hit beat Neuer at the top corner. A late Choupo-Moting goal put a bow on the tie and gave Nagelsmann an overwhelming victory against his former side. Bayern sit second, while Leipzig drop to 13.
Leipzig continue a tough run of fixtures midweek in a Champions League tie against Manchester City, before a trip to face Cologne next weekend. Bayern Munich also take part in the Champions League this week as they face Barcelona on Tuesday before returning home to play Bochum in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
