Luis Díaz hat-trick leads Bayern to 6-1 win over Leipzig before Arsenal test
Bayern Munich beat RB Leipzig 6-1, responding emphatically to a frustrating week in which they conceded an early goal at Augsburg and lost to Viking in Europe. The rout showed the champions at their best and underlined the challenge facing Leipzig, who had been viewed as domestic rivals.
Luis Díaz scored a hat-trick and set up Aleksandar Pavlovic’s goal, while Harry Kane and Joshua Kimmich also featured in Bayern’s attacking moves. The result fell just short of Leipzig’s record defeat, a 7-0 loss to Manchester City; Díaz’s form will be especially important against Arsenal, with Michael Olise suspended.
