FC Bayern celebrated an unchallenged 3:0 victory in the Bavarian derby against FC Augsburg. Harry Kane converted two penalties in the second half and completed a flawless hat-trick in stoppage time. As a result, Kompany's side remain unbeaten in their eleventh league game.

In the icy Munich soccer stadium, FC Bayern's goal machine only got going against FC Augsburg after a long start-up phase. In the 3:0 (0:0) win on Friday evening, the German soccer record champions needed a late hat-trick from Harry Kane, including two penalties, to secure a deserved victory. Bayern thus extended their lead at the top of the table to eight points at the start of the eleventh Bundesliga round.

Until Augsburg's Mads Pedersen's handball (63'), the Bayern offense around Kane and the industrious Jamal Musiala had run in vain. Kane then scored again from the spot in stoppage time (93') after the goalscorer had been fouled by Keven Schlotterbeck. The FCA defender was then shown yellow and red. Shortly afterwards, Kane completed his hat-trick and was the man of the evening. Konrad Laimer was substituted for Bayern in the 76th minute.

After the well-deserved victory and their sixth clean sheet in a row, the Munich stars can look forward to the upcoming Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, the league match against eternal rivals Borussia Dortmund and finally the DFB Cup against defending champions Bayer Leverkusen with plenty of momentum.

Augsburg goalkeeper insurmountable for a long time
FCA goalkeeper Nediljko Labrovic was the center of attention in front of 75,000 spectators. For a long time, the Croatian international goalkeeper was the unassailable back-up behind the visitors, who often defended very deep. Bayern ran tirelessly. But no matter who shot or headed, Labrovic kept everything out for a long time.

Then Kane was allowed to step up to the spot and converted his ninth penalty in the Bundesliga. The flawless penalty record continued into stoppage time. And the Englishman went one better with his 14th goal of the season.
