Bundesliga: Sadio Mane scores 2 as Bayern Munich beat Bochum 7-0.

Bayern Munich don’t need Robert Lewandowski.

Sadio Mane scored two more goals and Bayern avenged last season’s rare defeat by beating Bochum 7-0 in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

With three wins from three games and a goal difference of plus-14, the Bavarian powerhouse has made the league’s best start of any team. Bayern scored 15 runs in their opener against Eintracht Frankfurt, 6-1, and conceded just once.

Bayern have already looked overmatched, having lost Lewandowski, the league’s top scorer for the past five seasons since joining Barcelona in the offseason.

Mane has hit three goals in as many games since his move from Liverpool.

Bochum did not have to contend with the Senegal star last season as Thomas Rees’ side beat Bayern 4-2 at home in February.

“It was a great game from us, people are still talking about it,” Reece said before Sunday’s kickoff.

But hopes of a repeat were dampened by memories of the teams’ previous meeting, a 7-0 drubbing in Munich, Bochum’s heaviest Bundesliga defeat.

15 goals in 3 games for Bayern Munich

Bayern have scored eight goals in two games so far this season and the visitors did not have to wait long for Leroy Sane to open the scoring in the fourth minute.

“We wanted to set a mark in the first 30 minutes, so the opponent noticed,” Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said.

Manuel Reimann saved Sane’s next effort in the 10th and the Germany winger went close again 10 minutes later.

Matthijs de Ligt scored his first in the 25th with a header from a corner Bayern Goal since joining from Juventus. The Netherlands defender is making his first start for his new club.

Koeman’s third – a gift from the Bochum defense – in the 33rd, when Reimann blocked Müller’s initial effort.

Mane got the ball into the net again in the 40th, but it got to his hand and the goal was ruled out. But the Senegalese forward didn’t have to wait long before Koeman finished in the 43rd. Mane eluded Saidi Junko and slotted the ball in at the near post.

Mane sent Reimann the wrong way to score from the penalty spot in the 59th minute, 10 minutes before Christian Gamboa tried to prevent Sane from receiving Serge Gnabry’s pass and scored an own goal.

Gnabry scored the seventh goal in the 76th. Manuel Neuer denied Gerrit Holtmann a late consolation.

“It’s a shame we conceded so many easy goals again,” Rees said. “In the second half we tried to cut the losses. It didn’t work well. “

Eintracht Frankfurt’s long wait for a league win continued as Jan Thielmann scored late for Cologne to draw 1-1. Daichi Kamada looked to have ended Frankfurt’s 10-game run without a win when he scored in the 71st, but Thielmann equalized for the visitors in the 82nd.
