Overview

• Bayern won 4–1 away to Hoffenheim to stay perfect after four Bundesliga matches.
• Harry Kane scored three goals, converting two penalties, with Serge Gnabry adding a late fourth after Vladimir Coufal had pulled one back.
• The result delivers the best start in Bundesliga history at 18:3 goals and four wins, and marks Bayern’s seventh straight victory in all competitions.
• Vincent Kompany made wide-ranging changes as Nicolas Jackson started and 17-year-old Lennart Karl became Bayern’s second-youngest Bundesliga starter, before Kimmich, Olise and Gnabry entered after the hour.
• A second-half handball by Albian Hajdari led to a contentious penalty that was not reviewed on the monitor, and Bayern faced a new concern when Min‑jae Kim was substituted as long-term absentees Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito and Jamal Musiala remained out.
