Bayern Munich secured a dominant 5-1 victory over Pafos in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night. Harry Kane netted a brace, while the likes of Raphael Guerreiro, Nicolas Jackson and Michael Olise also found the back of the net. Having collected a maximum of six points from two games, the Bavarians are sitting atop the table, level on points with Real Madrid and Inter Milan, but separated by goal-difference.

Kane opened the scoring inside the first 15 minutes, drilling in from close range. Five minutes later, Guerreiro played a nice little one-two with Jackson inside the box, before smashing home past Pafos goalkeeper Neofytos Michael and into the back of the net. 

On loan Chelsea striker Jackson turned scorer ten minutes later, slotting home from Olise's assist. Kane completed his brace in the 34th-minute. The Englishman muscled his way past four Pafos defenders before firing home from a tight angle. It was the 32-year-old's 102nd goal for Bayern and 20th scalp for club and country this season. 

The home side pulled one back just before the break. Mislav Orsic's stunning long-ranger beat Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to find the top corner. The visitors netted their fifth goal of the night in the 68th-minute thanks to Olise, who slammed home the rebound after Jackson's initial attempt was well saved by Michael. 

Inter Milan 3-0 Slavia Prague

Inter Milan continued their strong start to the Champions League, thrashing Slavia Prague 3-0 at San Siro on Tuesday night. Lautaro Martinez netted either side of Denzel Dumfries' goal to secure all three points for the Serie A giants in front of their home fans. 

Martinez capitalised on a mistake by Slavia goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek to open the scoring on the half-hour mark. Four minutes later, Dumfries, got on the end of Marcus Thuram's low cross to double the lead for last season's runners-up. 

Inter netted their third goal of the night in the 65th-minute. Thuram played a nice little back-heel pass to release Alessandro Bastoni down the left side of the penalty box and the Italian's cross was comfortably tapped in by Martinez from close range.
