MUNICH, Germany, Aug 17 – Thomas Müller scored twice as Bayern Munich thrashed second-division Ulm in the German Cup in manager Vincent Kompany’s first match in charge.

England captain Harry Kane made it 4-0 to Bayern late on after two first-half goals from Muller and a late strike from Kingsley Coman, which ex-Crystal Palace midfielder Michael Olise assisted.

Kompany left Burnley for Bayern in the summer after the German side suffered their first trophyless campaign since 2012.

Twenty-time winners Bayern have failed to make it past the quarter-finals of the German Cup since winning the treble in 2019-20.

Ulm were promoted to the second division last season for the first time in 23 years.
