Jamal Musiala scored once and set up two more goals as champions Bayern Munich cruised past Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 on Friday to snap a four-game winless run in Germany's Bundesliga.
The Germany international delivered a superb performance for a confidence-boosting win ahead of Tuesday's Champions League group game against Viktoria Plzen and the big Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund next weekend.
Musiala set up Leroy Sane for the first goal in the third minute as the Bavarians were desperate to bounce back following their recent dip in form.
The 19-year-old midfielder put pressure on the Leverkusen defense throughout the game and turned scorer in the 17th after a one-two with Thomas Mueller and a slightly deflected shot.
He then helped Sadio Mane end his five-game goal drought, picking out the Senegalese who sent another deflected effort past goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky for his first goal in front of a home crowd at his new club.
The icing on Bayern's cake came in the 84th minute when Hradecky slipped in the box to send the ball directly into Mueller's path for their fourth goal.
The win lifted Bayern into second place in the Bundesliga on 15 points.
Elsewhere in Europe, Athletic Bilbao downed Almeria 4-0 in Spain's La Liga, while Olympique de Marseille clinched a convincing 3-0 win at Angers to move top of the French Ligue 1 standings.
