The captain of the England team secured a hat-trick as Bayern Munich narrowed Bayer Leverkusen’s lead at the summit of the Bundesliga to a mere seven points. Following the match, where the 30-year-old achieved the distinction of being the first player to score four hat-tricks in his debut Bundesliga season, the former Tottenham forward discussed the significance of the win and his remarkable cross-field pass to Germany winger Musiala on Saturday.

He remarked, “Hopefully this game will be a bit of a restart for the rest of the season. We used the momentum today (Saturday), it was a great performance from start to finish. We took advantage of our chances against a difficult opponent. Now we have to build on this performance in the coming weeks. I feel good at the moment and we are creating a lot of chances as a team. There are still a few games left, so I want to add more goals. Of course I’m also happy about my assist for Jamal [Musiala], I saw him in the corner of my eye. That was perhaps one of my best assists in my career. It’s nice that Jamal made it worthwhile.”

Bayern secured a morale-boosting 3-0 triumph over Lazio in the Champions League midweek, progressing to the quarter-finals of the tournament. This resounding victory against Mainz may instill belief that they can narrow Leverkusen’s significant lead. However, there remains a genuine possibility that Bayern may fail to secure a major trophy this season for the first time since 2011/12.

Leverkusen, undefeated in this campaign, could extend their lead to 10 points at the top of the table once more as they face Wolfsburg on Sunday evening, while Bayern’s next challenge sees them away against relegation-threatened Darmstadt on Saturday.
