Harry Kane came off the bench to score a hat-trick, guiding Bayern Munich to a 5-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart and extending their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to 11 points. Kane, who was rested by Vincent Kompany along with captain Manuel Neuer, entered the game in the second half and made an immediate impact, scoring three goals, including a penalty.

Bayern's dominance was evident as they controlled the game, with Konrad Laimer scoring the opening goal in the 11th minute. Josip Stanisic also contributed to the scoreline with a goal, assisted by Luis Díaz. Kane's hat-trick included goals in the 66th, 82nd, and 88th minutes, showcasing his exceptional skills.

That approach didn't seem to trouble them much, as the Bundesliga leaders ended a run of conceding first in three straight league games, breaking the deadlock in style on 11 minutes. Stand-in goalkeeper Jonas Urbig sparked the move with a long ball that Konrad Laimer brilliantly controlled, feeding Michael Olise before receiving the ball back and finishing with a stunning backheel for his first-ever goal against Stuttgart.

Stuttgart had scored in every game up to this point, making Bayern's lead look precarious. However, the visitors pushed hard to extend their advantage, with Michael Olise's curling shot almost slipping past Alexander Nubel, but it narrowly missed the far post.

Despite Stuttgart's efforts, Bayern maintained their lead, thanks in part to some fortunate breaks. Nikolas Nartey's header was ruled offside, and Chema Andrés' shot from the edge of the box went wide, ensuring Bayern went into halftime with a 1-0 lead, their ninth league-high this season.

Clear-cut chances were scarce after the restart, with Michael Olise having a shot just go over for Bayern, while Deniz Undav's strike was brilliantly tipped over by Jonas Urbig after a wicked deflection.

Vincent Kompany's side continued to look the more dangerous, and after Luis Díaz contrived to fire wide from close range, substitute Harry Kane needed just five minutes to double their lead after coming off the bench.

Aleksandar Pavlovic's brilliant ball-winning skills in Bayern's half sparked an attack that led to Harry Kane's stunning goal. Kane picked up the ball on halfway, sauntered forward, and unleashed a powerful low drive into the bottom corner from 25 yards, scoring his eighth goal in six games against Stuttgart.

Alexander Nubel made a fabulous save to deny Kane's ninth head-to-head strike, but the goalkeeper slipped up moments later, letting Josip Stanisic's powerful strike slip through his grasp and into the net at the near post, handing Bayern their third goal.

Stuttgart's miserable first scoring blank of the Bundesliga season took a turn for the worse when Lorenz Assignon blocked Michael Olise's goalbound strike with his hand, earning a red card and conceding a penalty. Harry Kane coolly converted the penalty, and then completed his treble by tapping in from Olise's cross, making it 5-0.

This victory marked a new Bundesliga record for Bayern, with 21 successive matches scoring multiple goals, and their 16th win from the last 17 trips to Stuttgart.
