Stuttgart 0-5 Bayern Munich: Bavarians player ratings as Serge Gnabry hat-trick inspires five-star performance | Bundesliga 2021-22
Bayern Munich made light work of Stuttgart with a 5-0 demolition in the Bundesliga. Serge Gnabry bagged a hat-trick while Robert Lewandowski netted twice as the Bavarians consolidated their position at the top.
The champions took some time to get going, opening their account just minutes before half-time. They ran riot after the break, netting four goals in the space of just 21 minutes.
The Reds had their fair share of moments in the match but a lack of cutting edge kept them from making them count.
Bayern moved nine points clear at the top with a game in hand.
Here are the player ratings for Bayern Munich:
Manuel Neuer - 7/10
The Bayern custodian was rarely tested but looked confident while handling any incoming danger.
Benjamin Pavard - 7/10
The France international was solid at the back, although Stuttgart's lack of attacking threat also made his task easier.
Niklas Sule - 8/10
The centre-back frustrated Omar Marmoush all night, impeding his forward sprints. The 26-year old read the game brilliantly too, making four clearances.
Lucas Hernandez - 6.5/10
The Frenchman looked nervy in the first half as Stuttgart looked to press him but enjoyed a more relaxed period after the break.
Alphonso Davies - 6/10
Bayern's 'Road Runner' was given a hard time by Tanguy Coulibaly and also went into the referee's books for a handball. Not his best night.
Marc Roca - 6.5/10
The 25-year-old worked hard to regain possession and also displayed his range of passing with a 92% completion rate. He played a big role in Bayern's second goal too.
Jamal Musiala - 7/10
While he offered no great shakes in attack, Musiala made up for it with solid defensive play, making three interceptions and tackles each.
Serge Gnabry - 10/10
Gnabry had a hand in all five goals on the night, bagging three himself for an amazing hat-trick while assisting both of Lewandowski's strikes. What a night for him!

Thomas Muller - 8/10

Kingsley Coman - N/A
Coman had to come off early on into the match after pulling his hamstring in an unfortunate injury.
Robert Lewandowski - 8.5/10
The Pole was quiet for large parts of the match but took his chances clinically, bagging a brace to continue his ridiculous goalscoring run.
Robert Lewandowski has now scored more league goals this season [17] than Spurs [16].
Safe to say the Kane/Lewa debate has been put to bed for a while… 🛏 https://t.co/rMylJNp6zv
