In the match between Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim, the Bundesliga leaders delivered a dominant 5-0 performance to cement their four-point lead at the top of the table.

Raphael Guerreiro doubled the lead five minutes later after a one-two with Harry Kane, and Kane, the league’s top scorer, added a third from the penalty spot in the 26th minute—his 16th goal of the season and 12th successful penalty in his Bundesliga career.
