BAYERN 7-0 BOCHUM
Stunning stuff from the record champions. They go top for the first time under Julian Nagelsmann, overnight at least.

IT WON'T COUNT!
Thomas Müller has the ball in the net after Riemann could only parry a dipping Goretzka strike. His celebrations don't last long, though - a VAR review confirms he was a fraction offside.

SEVENTH HEAVEN!
Riemann thwarts Müller, and pulls off a fine double save from Choupo-Moting, but can't keep out the Bayern sub at the third attempt. Bochum staring a club record Bundesliga defeat in the face...
76'
BIG CHANCE!
Gnabry loses out to Soares in the Bayern half. The Bochum defender barrels clear and finds Ganvoula at the near post, but the angle's tight and he can't find the target.
75'
KIMMICH STANDS DOWN
There'll be no hat-trick for Kimmich. He's replaced by young Tanguy Nianzou. Christopher Antwi-Adjei is on for Bochum in place of Milos Pantovic, who barely had a kick against his former employers.

KIMMICH AT THE DOUBLE!
Kimmich starts and finishes Bayern's sixth. Goretzka knocks down Gnabry's return pass, and Kimmich slots home from close range. Gala stuff from the record champions!

GOAL RULED OUT!
Ganvoula collects Losilla's pass and beats Neuer from a tight angle, but he's clearly offside.

LEWY GETS HIS GOAL!
Five-star Bayern! Gnabry clips a ball into the box for Sane, Tesche can only turn it into the path of Lewandowski, who scores for a record 13th Bundesliga home game in a row.

TREBLE CHANGE
Thomas Reis rings the changes with Bochum second best to every ball. They'll do well to prevent a fifth Bayern goal...

CHANCE!
Thomas Müller comes a long way with the ball at his feet, before laying it off into the box for Kimmich. He takes aim, but Stafylidis comes across to fend off the threat at the expense of a corner. Lewandowski's the initial target - Sane fires the loose ball off target.
53'
ONE-SIDED IN MUNICH
Bayern very much in control early in the second half. Bochum look bereft of ideas when they do have the ball, not that this is the kind of game they'll be pinning their survival hopes on.
46'
HERE WE GO AGAIN
Like-for-like Bayern change as Omar Richards makes his Bundesliga debut in place of Davies. Surely just damage limitation for Bochum from here...

FOURTH BAYERN GOAL!
Bayern work it exactly as they did a moment ago as Müller helps on Davies' pass to Lewandowski. Lampropoulous is in front of the Bayern striker, but contrives to pass the ball past the advancing Riemann. It's a rout!
41'
ALL BAYERN
Davies and Müller combine. Lewandowski's lurking, but Bella Kotchap does just enough to fend the ball behind for a corner. Müller rises highest to meet the ensuing set-piece, heading over.
37'
LEFT-WING DANGER
Bochum can't live with Davies and Sane. The latter goes on the overlap ths time, with Riemann getting a boot to his teasing cross. Goretzka lays the loose ball off to Müller on the edge of the area, but his shot is blocked.
32'
BAYERN RUNNING RIOT!
Gnabry races past Soares to collect Müller's incisive through-ball, and makes no mistake with his finish. The 25,000 fans in attendance are bouncing!
31'
CHANCES!
Bayern in full flow as Sane and Davies combine down the left. Lewandowski shapes to shoot from 18 yards, but instead plays in the overlapping Gnabry, who stings the palms of Riemann. The record champions soon come again with Gnabry. He pulls a cross back for Sane, who side-foots wide from 10 yards out. A wry smile from the Germany international - he knows he should have scored.

KIMMICH!!!!
Bayern deservedly extend their advantage. Sane clips a ball into the box, where Kimmich spins his man and fires in with the aid of a deflection. Long way back for Bochum...
26'
CRUCIAL BLOCK!
Thomas Müller feeds Gnabry in the box. Riemann's rooted to the spot as the Bayern winger curls towards the far corner - luckily for Bochum, Lampropoulos is stationed in front of the goal-line and makes the block.
22'
LEWY!
Lewandowski controls on the edge of the area, before lining up a side-footed attempt at goal. It's too close to Bochum goalkeeper Riemann, though. The Bayern striker will set a record for goals in consecutive Bundesliga games (13), if he scores today.
18'
LEEEEROYYYYYYYYYYY!
Bayern lead Bochum. Gnabry's around five yards outside the area as he goes to ground under Losilla's challenge. Right of centre, Sane steps up and bends a laser-guided effort round the wall and into the bottom corner. Stunning hit!
13'
REXHBECAJ!
Rexhbecaj follows suit for Bochum, but drives over from range. Encouraging start by Thomas Reis's heavy underdogs.
12'
HOLTMANN!
Gerrit Holtmann, the August Goal of the Month winner, bends goalwards from 20 yards. It takes an awkward bounce in front of the diving Neuer, who can only fend it behind for a corner.
11'
SNUFFED OUT
Bayern work the ball from back to front. Sane's disguised pass feeds the left-wing run of Davies, but the Canadian's cross into the middle is hoofed clear in front of the waiting Lewandowski.
8'
SANE IN THE THICK OF THINGS
Twice now we've seen Sane collect the ball in a central area on the edge of the Bochum area. The visitors are defending in numbers, though, and pressing Bayern hard in the early stages.

WARNING SIGNS
A mistake by Bella Kotchap allows Lewandowski to run at goal. Bochum see off the danger at the expense of a free-kick, which is cleared only as far as Gnabry. Leaning back on his left foot, he fires over from just inside the area.

Bochum, all in white, get the ball rolling im Munich in a meeting of last season's Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 champions.
Kick-off!
KICK-OFF IMMINENT
The fans are in full voice as the teams take to the field at the Allianz Arena. Don't go anywhere...
SEASON SO FAR
Bayern are unbeaten in seven competitive matches under Julian Nagelsmann. The defending champions have won every single game, bar their Bundesliga opener against Gladbach, which ended in a 1-1 draw, and can go top of the table for the first time in the post-Hansi Flick era today. Promoted Bochum have taken three points from a possible 12 on their return to the Bundesliga.
GORETZKA COMMITS
Bayern secured another of their key players for the long term after Germany midfielder Leon Goretzka put pen to paper on a new contract earlier this week. The 26-year-old has signed a lengthy extension that will keep him at the club until 2026. His previous deal had been due to expire next summer. Goretzka made 36 appearances for Bochum, after coming through the Ruhr club's youth ranks. He moved to Bayern in summer 2018, following five years at Schalke.
OKTOBERFEST THREADS
Bayern will play in a one-off Oktoberfest jersey today. The city’s famous festival was supposed to kick off on Saturday, but has been cancelled for a second straight year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The club will, nevertheless, mark the occasion with a special kit. The strip is dark green with a gold logo and accents on the arms to make it resemble classic lederhosen.

WATCH: DAVID VS. GOLIATH
LEWY ON FIRE, YOUR DEFENCE IS TERRIFIED
Lewandowski has scored in each of his last 12 home games in the Bundesliga. He will become the first Bundesliga player in history to score in 13, if he finds the target against Bochum. The Pole has found the back of the net for 18 games running in all competitions.
MORE ON THOSE TEAMS
Julian Nagelsmann makes three changes to the side that won so convincingly in Barcelona in midweek. Defenders Josip Stainisic and Lucas Hernandez get a run-out at the expense of Benjamin Pavard and Dayot Upamecano, while winger Serge Gnabry bumps Jamal Musiala down to the bench. Kingsley Coman and Corentin Tolisso are the only major absentees for the record champions. As for Bochum, Robert Tesche and Wolfsburg loanee Elvis Rexhbecaj are recalled in midfield. Munich-born former Bayern youth player Milos Pantovic replaces injured talisman Simon Zoller in attack.
