Borussia Dortmund had briefly edged ahead of Freiburg into top spot after their earlier draw at Union Berlin, but Bayern responded in typically ruthless fashion.

In his 100th Bundesliga match, Harry Kane scored a goal and laid on two assists as he pulled the strings from deep, while Aleksandar Pavlovic and Michael Olise also got on the scoresheet.

The dominant display was probably Bayern's best performance of the season and a boost to their confidence ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with English champions Arsenal.
