Watch: Kane's thoughts on Bayern's 'big win'

Full time: Freiburg 1-3 Bayern

Bayern appeared comfortable until Bischof’s own goal, which suddenly sparked Freiburg into life towards the end of the second half. The home side threw everything at the champions in the closing stages, but Olise’s late goal clinched all three points as Bayern move back above Borussia Dortmund and inflict a third straight defeat on Julian Schuster’s side.

Olise finishes it

All over. Freiburg commit everyone forward but Backhaus - standing high up the pitch - loses possession to Olise, who slides the ball into the unguarded net to seal the points for Bayern.

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Over from Upamecano

Freiburg fail to clear a Bayern corner and Laimer and Tah combine to set up Upamecano, who lashes a shot over the crossbar. It wouldn't have counted anyway, though - the referee had spotted a foul in the Freiburg box.

Tough for Freiburg

The home side have a mountain to climb after that Gnabry goal late in the first half. They haven't seen much of the ball since the restart, with Bayern continuing to monopolise possession.

Freiburg win a free-kick in a dangerous position near the Bayern box. Scherhant steps up but Urbig is equal to the winger's shot.

Half-time: Freiburg 0-2 Bayern

Bayern have been at their clinical best at the Europa-Park Stadion, opening the scoring through Upamecano before doubling their advantage through Gnabry late in the first half. Urbig hasn’t really had much to do at all at the other end. Can the champions see this one out and return to the top of the table?

Two-goal cushion!

Gnabry marks his first Bundesliga start of the season with Bayern's second of the game - and his 100th in Germany's top flight! The 31-year-old plays in Brown before latching onto the full-back's return pass and sending a cool finish beyond Backhaus.

The birthday boy tries to get Freiburg back on level terms with a speculative effort from the edge of the area, but it's not troubling Urbig.

Bayern threaten again

Freiburg are almost caught out by another Bayern counter-attack. Höler fails to get a shot away after pouncing on a loose ball inside the area and Bayern break through Karl, who has Kane in plenty of space to his right - but takes to long to find his team-mate and Freiburg recover their shape.

Magnificent challenge

Laimer produces a superb tackle to win the ball off Suzuki, who was trying to shield the ball from the Austria international on the corner of the Bayern box.

Close shave

Backhaus almost gifted Laimer a goal moments before Upamecano's opener, but the Freiburg goalkeeper managed to atone for his error - only to be beaten by the Frenchman from Bayern's next attack.

Bayern lead!

A frantic passage of play ends in Upamecano winning the ball on the edge of his own box before playing a one-two with Olise and making a beeline for goal. Left one-on-one with Backhaus, the centre-back sends a cool finish into the back of the net to open the scoring!
