Michael Olise-led Bayern Munich thrash Werder Bremen in German league

By Can Erozden

French football star Michael Olise was on fire as Bayern Munich hammered Werder Bremen 5-0 in a German Bundesliga match on Saturday to go on their lead.

After a mistake by Werder Bremen, winger Olise drew first blood at Weser-Stadion, scoring in the penalty area in minute 23.

Nine minutes later, Olise assisted Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala as the German midfielder scored on an easy chance.

In the second half, Olise passed back to Harry Kane in the box as the English forward scored on a finesse shot. It was Olise's second assist.

In minute 60, Olise added another goal to make it 4-0. The 22-year-old was the key player of the match.

Midfielder Serge Gnabry scored on a solo effort in the area five minutes later as the visitors secured the victory in Bremen.

Bayern Munich have 12 points in four matches and are on top of the German league.

Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt are Bayern Munich's nearest opponents in the league table as they have nine points each.

Werder Bremen are in the 10th spot with five points.

Bayern Munich will next host defending German champions Bayer Leverkusen at Allianz Arena on Sept. 28.
