The Bundesliga returned to action on Sunday with two key matches that saw Bayern Munich and England secure victories.
In the early game at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich faced off against Borussia Dortmund. The match was a closely contested affair, but it was Bayern who emerged victorious, securing their seventh consecutive win in all competitions. Goals from Robert Lewandowski and Joshua Kimmich helped the German giants to a comfortable 2-0 victory.
For England, the main focus was on the upcoming international break, which will see them play three matches in just under four weeks. In their first match, they defeated Germany 1-0 thanks to Harry Kane's goal in the second half. The Tottenham Hotspur forward has been in sensational form this season, scoring 25 goals in all competitions so far.
Kane's goal was a testament to his clinical finishing, as he capitalized on a mistake by Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. The goal came late in the second half, with Kane running onto a pass from Raheem Sterling and firing home from close range.
England's win means they have moved up to fourth place in the World Cup qualification standings, while Germany remain in fifth. It was a crucial result for both teams, with England hoping to maintain their winning run ahead of the international break, while Germany will be looking to bounce back after losing to France earlier in the week.
Overall, it was another successful weekend for Bayern Munich and England, with both sides securing important victories. However, the pressure is now on Kane and his team-mates to continue their good form and maintain their lead at the top of the table.
