Bayern Munich continue to look good under new manager Vincent Kompany after a dominant outing against Tottenham.

Bayern Munich showcased their undeniable ability and dominance, delivering a masterclass performance that left their Premier League counterparts, Tottenham Hotspur, scrambling in their wake. 

The Bundesliga giants' 2-1 victory over the London-based club showed the transformative impact of their new manager, Vincent Kompany, who is looking to reignite a new era of dominance for the Bavarian powerhouse.

Here are five key takeaways from their impressive victory against Spurs.

Early Goal Sets the Tone for Bayern

Bayern Munich showed their intent early on when they took the lead in the 4th minute. 20-year-old Gabriel Vidovic laid down a marker with a cool finish to put Kompany's stars in control.

Understandably, the Man City legend is leaving no stone unturned in his effort to get the players to implement his unique plans before the season kicks off.

Bayern Dictate the Tempo

Bayern toyed with Tottenham in the opening half, especially, and deserved to be ahead by more than 1-0 but for their wastefulness in the final third.

Porro Strikes Late

Talented fullback Pedro Porro scored a trademark screamer to make the result more respectable in the second half.

No Olise and Kane, No Problem

Bayern continue to impress and show their potential without their main man Harry Kane, and new signing, Michael Olise, who is currently leading France's quest for an Olympic gold in Paris 2024.
