Sane 'just wants to keep going' after playing starring role against Bochum

Leroy Sane "just wants to keep going" after he continued his impressive form for Bayern Munich with a goal and an assist in a 7-0 rout of Bochum.

Sane opened the scoring on Saturday with a fine free-kick, with the Germany winger then turning provider for Joshua Kimmich to double Bayern's lead.

Serge Gnabry, Robert Lewandowski – who scored in a record-setting 13th successive Bundesliga home match – Kimmich and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting all scored again for Bayern, with Vasilios Lampropoulos also turning into his own net.

Sane hopes to maintain his strong start to the season under Julian Nagelsmann after a difficult campaign last year.

"I always try to do my best," he told Bayern's official website.

"At the moment things are going very, very well. I just want to keep going. I played a good game today.

"Sure, there are still a few things that can be improved. The coach speaks about them and I will try to implement it in the next games."

Sane had five attempts, level with Gnabry for the most by any player in the game, with three of those ending up on target.

It was an emphatic triumph for Bayern, who have moved to the top of the Bundesliga table with 13 points from their five matches.

"I am satisfied with the result, but also with the way it was done," Nagelsmann said.

"In the first ten minutes we still had a few problems. After that we got along very well. We had a good structure with the ball, we created a lot of opportunities.

"In the second half there was a point that we didn't get a goal, and we showed the greed as if we had zero. Overall it was a very good performance. We are happy with the result."
