On January 11, 2026, Bayern Munich delivered a stunning 8-1 victory over Wolfsburg, with Harry Kane leading the charge to reach the 20-goal mark in the Bundesliga after just 16 matches. The first half was a tense affair at the Allianz Arena, but Bayern's attacking prowess soon took center stage. Kane, Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, Raphaël Guerreiro, and Leon Goretzka all found the back of the net, with Kane's 69th-minute goal putting him on track to surpass Robert Lewandowski's 41-goal league campaign in the 2020-21 season. This victory also opened up an 11-point lead at the summit for Bayern, as Borussia Dortmund dropped points in a 3-3 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday. Bayern broke the deadlock in just five minutes with a dangerous cross by Diaz, which was deflected in by Wolfsburg defender Kilian Fischer. Diaz squandered an opportunity soon after, but Wolfsburg leveled the score in a shocking fashion after only 13 minutes when Lovro Majer slipped in Dzenan Pejcinovic, who slotted beyond Manuel Neuer. It lifted Wolfsburg as Majer had a shot blocked before ex-Tottenham and Manchester United playmaker Christian Eriksen whizzed an effort off target. A third goal arrived after 30 minutes, with Bayern claiming it as Olise's corner picked out Diaz to head home. The second half belonged to Olise, who grabbed his first goal in the 50th minute with a trademark finish. Three minutes later, Olise grabbed an assist when Wolfsburg's Moritz Jenz put it into his own net. It was quickly damage-limitation mode for Wolfsburg, but two goals in the space of a minute followed as Kane produced a wonderful curled effort from 17 yards in off the woodwork before Guerreiro joined the party seconds later. There was still time for Olise to poke home to complete his brace and Goretzka wrapped up the scoring in the 88th minute. This victory further solidifies Bayern's advantage at the top, with Vincent Kompany's side extending their lead.
