Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski scored a brace, while Phillipe Coutinho netted his first Bundesliga goal as the German champions defeated 10-man Cologne 4-0, moving to the top of the league on September 21, 2019.
Lewandowski put Bayern ahead just 150 seconds into the match at the Allianz Arena, doubling the hosts' lead with a bullet header from a corner at the start of the season half.
Coutinho, on loan from Barcelona, claimed his first Bundesliga goal on the hour by converting a penalty at the second attempt, after Cologne defender Kingsley Ehizibue was shown a straight red card for bringing the Brazilian down in the area.
Coutinho capped a satisfying day by setting up Ivan Perisic to compound Cologne's misery by slotting Bayern's fourth on 73 minutes.
