Harry Kane sends out stark warning to Bayern's rivals after Bavarian giants thrash Eintracht Frankfurt and hails 'outstanding' team-mate Eric Dier

Bundesliga

Augsburg

Eintracht Frankfurt

Bayern Munich

Mainz 05

<p>The Bundesliga leaders <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jamal-musiala-serge-gnabry-finish-off-frankfurt-victory-michael-olise-shines-harry-kane-return-injury/bltaa33783c1837475a" target="_blank">ran riot against their third-placed visitors at the Allianz Arena</a>, with Michael Olise, Hiroki Ito, Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry getting the goals to keep Vincent Kompany's men eight points clear at the top of the table.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Star striker Kane was reduced to a 25-minute substitute appearance after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bayern-munich-confirm-harry-kane-break-training-calf-injury-champions-league-celtic-england-striker-annoying-setback/blt700729e7fb3129e4" target="_blank">missing training during the week with a calf injury</a>. The England captain was impressed by what he saw watching on from the bench, though, and feels that few teams they come up against could have withstood the pressure they put on Frankfurt. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>"Fantastic performance from start to finish. Just the way we dominated without the ball," he told <em>ESPN</em>. "I think we are always going to have quality going forwards we have fantastic players going forwards and we are going to create chances. Ultimately that pressure without the ball, we almost nullified any threat from them. We know they are a team with a lot of pace and can be really good on the transition. We were at the top of our game. If we play like that, there are not many teams can withhold that pressure and that's exactly what happened today." </p>

WHAT KANE SAID

<p>In Kane's absence, Eric Dier represented England with a strong performance beside Kim Min-jae at centre-back. The former Tottenham star put in some good tackles and did well in the air to keep the away side quiet.</p><p>Asked about Dier, Kane said: "He's been outstanding. From when he first came. Obviously he was a big part of our Champions League run last season and our performances in the league. He was one of our more consistent performers. He's been biding his time this season but whenever he's stepped in the level has gone even higher. Out there today he was outstanding from start to finish. I'm really happy for him."</p>

KANE HAILS ERIC DIER

<p>Bayern are next in action against seventh-placed Stuttgart on Friday, which will be followed by a Champions League clash against rivals Bayer Leverkusen on March 5.</p>
