Sadio Mane scored twice as Bayern Munich maintained their perfect start to the Bundesliga season with a 7-0 thrashing of VfL Bochum.
Bayern blew Bochum away in the space of 38 first-half minutes with a devastating four-goal flurry, sparked by Leroy Sane's fourth-minute opener.
Summer signing Matthijs de Ligt made it two with his first Bayern goal on 25 minutes, before Kingsley Coman added a third on the half-hour mark and Mane got his first with a low, driven shot two minutes before the break.
Mane scored his second and Bayern's fifth from the penalty spot on the hour, before Cristian Gamboa's own goal and Serge Gnabry's late seventh took Bayern's goal tally three games into the season to 15.
Bayern's third victory from three this season leaves them top of the Bundesliga on nine points, two clear of second-placed Borussia Monchengladbach.
Title rivals Borussia Dortmund conceded three goals in the final six minutes against Werder Bremen on Saturday as they suffered a shock 3-2 loss that left them on six points.

Dortmund's Julian Brandt had fired a blinder past Werder keeper Jiri Pavlenka in first-half stoppage time to take an unexpected lead after a dire 45 minutes for the hosts where nothing seemed to work.

PSG's biggest victory against Lille, who seized their French crown in 2020-21, confirms their place at the top of the table after scoring 16 goals in their opening three wins of their title defence.
The striker took just eight seconds to put his side in front, running on to Lionel Messi's ball over the top to put the ball past Leo Jardim.
Messi added a second and Achraf Hakimi hit a third before Neymar scored twice. Mbappe scored two more after the break while Jonathan Bamba pulled one back for the hosts.
England Under-21 striker and Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun scored his third goal in as many matches to help Reims to a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg.
