Free-scoring Bayern Munich extended their perfect Bundesliga start when Michael Olise scored two goals and set up two more to give them a 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen in a one-sided contest at the Weserstadion on Saturday. Bayern, who have scored 20 goals in three matches across all competitions, opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when Harry Kane played in Olise, before the French winger turned provider to set up Jamal Musiala.
Vincent Kompany's side continued their onslaught after the break and Olise teed up Kane for a goal from the edge of the box, before netting the fourth with a delightful side-footed effort into the top corner.
Substitute Serge Gnabry wrapped up the scoring in the 65th minute as league leaders Bayern ran out comfortable winners to move on to 12 points from four matches.
Inzaghi warns Inter not to rest on laurels
Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi urged his team not to rely on past glories as they prepare to face AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina on Sunday. Despite Inter's dominance in recent derbies, winning the last six encounters, Inzaghi cautioned his players against letting history influence their performance when they host their city rivals in Serie A. The defending champions have started the season strongly, earning eight points in four matches.
In contrast, Milan have secured just five points, putting pressure on their manager Paulo Fonseca ahead of the derby. "We mustn't think about past derbies. They are only cherished memories and you don't get points for memories. We are up against a very strong team with good players," Inzaghi said at a press conference on Saturday.
"Derbies often defy predictions. We need to be better on the day, focusing on every detail," he added. The derby comes at a crucial time after a strenuous 0-0 draw at Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday. "We know what the derby means to our fans, and we need a special performance from Inter," Inzaghi said.
