"Bayern Munich continued their winning streak on Saturday as they made it 15 wins in a row since the start of the new season by beating Bayer Leverkusen at Allianz Arena. Courtesy of a 3-0 win against Leverkusen, Bayern strengthened their grip at the top of the Bundesliga points table. With one eye on Tuesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, Vincent Kompany decided to make several changes to the starting XI against Leverkusen."
"Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Diaz started on the bench. Serge Gnabry, Lennart Karl, and Raphael Guerreiro in the attack behind Nicolas Jackson. Bayern dominated the proceedings from the word go, but couldn't translate their dominance into clear-cut chances until the 16th minute. Lennart Karl unleashed a powerful shot from 20 yards after a neat bit of linkup play between Konrad Laimer and Raphael Guerreiro."
"Leon Goretzka came close to opening the scoring a minute later. Karl delivered an inviting cross at the back-post from the left flank. Goretzka couldn't get sufficient contact to head the ball into the net. The early dominance eventually resulted in a goal as Serge Gnabry put the host ahead in the 25th minute. After collecting the ball, Manuel Neuer found Tom Bischof in the left-back position with a long throw."
Bayern Munich extended their winning streak to 15 matches with a 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen, strengthening their lead atop the Bundesliga. Vincent Kompany made several changes to Leverkusen's starting lineup with consideration for an upcoming Champions League fixture. Bayern dominated possession and created early chances from Lennart Karl and Leon Goretzka before breaking the deadlock. Serge Gnabry scored in the 25th minute, marking his 250th Bundesliga appearance with a goal. Nicolas Jackson then doubled the lead in the 31st minute from a Konrad Laimer cross, securing control for the hosts.
