Olise sends Bayern eight points clear, Stuttgart hold Dortmund

Michael Olise scored twice and set up three more goals as Bayern Munich came from two down to beat Freiburg 6-2 at home in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Olise created goals for Lennart Karl, Dayot Upamecano and Nicolas Jackson, while Harry Kane also got on the scoresheet as Bayern clicked into gear, having trailed after early goals from Freiburg’s Yuito Suzuki and Johan Manzambi.

The win sent Bayern eight points at the top of the table, after Borussia Dortmund dropped points at home to Stuttgart.

With Wednesday's trip to Arsenal on his mind, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany shuffled his deck, leaving captain Joshua Kimmich on the bench and resting former Gunners forward Serge Gnabry.

The move looked to have backfired early with Suzuki and Manzambi both scoring from set-pieces to put Freiburg two up.

Bayern stormed back, teenage winger Karl collecting an Olise pass and sliding home. The starlet then created Bayern’s second for Olise, repaying the favour for the France forward to hit a deflected shot home from close range.

Karl had a goal struck off for offside early in the second but Bayern took the lead shortly after, Upamecano tapping in an Olise corner.
