Bayern have now bagged 20 goals in their last three games — in which England striker Kane has scored eight — after beating Holstein Kiel 6-1 last week and demolishing Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Bayern's sixth win in six games in all competitions under new coach Vincent Kompany on Saturday comes ahead of playing reigning Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen next week.

Bayern have now recorded 16 goals and three conceded from their four Bundesliga games.

Olise has made a bright start since arriving from English Premier League side Crystal Palace and has racked up five goals and three assists in six games for Bayern in all competitions.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Hugo Larsson and Omar Marmoush scored as Eintracht Frankfurt won their third game in a row by beating Borussia Monchengladbach 2-0.

Vincenzo Grifo scored twice as Freiburg beat Heidenheim 3-0 for their third win in four league games while Union Berlin secured a 2-1 victory over Hoffenheim, who have lost three in a row.

Promoted Holstein Kiel earned their first top-division point when Shuto Machino's 89th-minute goal salvaged a 2-2 draw at Bochum.

On Sunday, Leverkusen host Wolfsburg while Stuttgart takes on Borussia Dortmund.
