MUNICH (AP) — Michael Olise scored twice and Bayern Munich started the new year by beating Wolfsburg 8-1 with six second-half goals to take an 11-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
Olise, Harry Kane and Luis Diaz tore apart Wolfsburg’s defense on Sunday in a display of dominance that leaves Bayern firmly on course to defend the title in just the 16th game of the 34-game season.

In Bayern’s first game since the winter break, in freezing temperatures, Olise scored a double, Kane and Díaz one each, plus goals from substitutes Raphael Guerreiro and Leon Goretzka, and two Wolfsburg own goals.
Also on Sunday, American full-back Joe Scally scored his first goal since 2023 as Borussia Moenchengladbach beat Augsburg 4-0. Gladbach moved up two places to 10th after winning at home for the second time this season.
