Ruthless, more ruthless, Bayern Munich! Merciless, more merciless, Harry Kane!

For the first time in the Bundesliga history, a team has managed to score two goals in 21 consecutive games. The record of 20 matches was set in the 2013/2014 season by Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich, and today, it was broken by Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich!

Truth be told, Stuttgart put up a fierce resistance to the Bavarians in the first half, even had a goal disallowed, but it didn't help them much. The visitors were mediocre, lackluster, and uninspired, but even so, they demolished the rivals 5-0, recording their 12th league win of the season.

If the Swabians were decent - at some points even better than Bayern - before the break, after it, they were disastrous, especially since Harry Kane entered.

Consequently, Konrad Laimer's first-half opener was quintupled thanks to the Englishman's 28-minute hat-trick and Josip Stanisic's goal, for a genuine nightmare of the packed MHPArena.

Unlike Bayern's regular Bundesliga duels this season, in which the rivals usually "don't show up," Stuttgart decided to challenge the giants. In the first four minutes, the Swabians received two yellow cards, hinting at a strong resistance they were about to put up.

However, only 11 minutes into the game, they conceded. The Bavarians initiated a nice attack, Michael Olise recorded an assist, and the defender Konrad Laimer netted a beautiful back-heel goal.

Yet, it didn't discourage Sebastian Hoeness's men, who felt that the visitors weren't at their usual level and wanted to exploit it.

Bayern's vulnerability was exceptionally visible in the final 15 minutes (including added time) of the opening half, when Stuttgart scored a goal over Nikolas Nartey, which was eventually disallowed for offside, and threatened several times, but Deniz Undav and Chema Andres failed to punish the Bavarians' complacency and spoil Vincent Kompany's half-time talk.

Uli is still bitter: 'Poor Florian Wirtz'

The same story continued after the break. Stuttgart kept throwing punches, but none of them managed to knock the Bavarians out and seriously harm them. However, even that was enough for Kompany to realize he needed Harry Kane on the pitch, as the Englishman replaced the invisible Nicolas Jackson at the hour mark.

And the striker's impact was instant! Just five minutes after stepping on the pitch, Kane doubled his team's lead with a precise long-distance effort, crushing Stuttgart's hope of avoiding a defeat.

In the 78th minute, it was 3-0, thanks to another goal from outside the box, this time courtesy of Bayern's wing-back Josip Stanisic, though the impression was that Stuttgart's custodian Alexander Nubel could have reacted better. Minutes later, the Swabians' catastrophe continued, as Lorenz Assignon handballed in the box on purpose, blocking Olise's shot. The Bavarians were awarded a penalty which Kane sent home, while the Frenchman was sent off.

The final touch and the cherry on top of Bayern's new crushing triumph was Kane's hat-trick, for which it took him just 28 minutes to complete! At the same time, this game was an evidence that the Munich side has no proper competition in the Bundesliga this season.
