Match Report
Jamal Musiala's masterful performance inspired Bayern Munich to a 3-0 victory over Hoffenheim as the champions closed the gap on leaders Bayer Leverkusen to just one point.
Bayern went into the winter break clinging onto the coattails of Xabi Alonso's pacesetters but were able to take advantage of playing before their title rivals as the Bundesliga returned from its winter break on Friday night.
After emotional tributes were paid to Franz Beckenbauer - the former Bayern player and manager who died earlier this month - Thomas Tuchel's side were quiet for an hour but did open the scoring when Musiala's powerful effort from a tight angle somehow beat Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann.
Musiala then added a second after turning in Raphael Guerreiro's low cross, before Grischa Promel was dismissed for a second yellow card.
That sending off ended the contest, meaning all that was left was for Harry Kane to fire in his 22nd goal in 16 Bundesliga games as his remarkable form continued.
