admin

Harry Kane has added yet another record to his lengthy list of individual accolades as Bayern Munich thrashed Werder Bremen 5-0. 

The England captain struck Bayern’s third goal from the edge of the area – his 41st in 36 league appearances for the club – after Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala had given them a two-goal half-time lead.

Former Crystal Palace forward Olise notched his second before Serge Gnabry completed the route. 

Kane’s latest strike took his tally for the season to an outstanding 10 goals in just six appearances across all competitions. 

It was also his 41st goal in the Bundesliga, meaning he has becoming the highest scoring Englishman in Germany’s top flight.

The former Tottenham striker has overtaken Chelsea loanee Jadon Sancho, who scored 40 Bundesliga goals for Borussia Dortmund – including two last season. 

Sancho managed to reach the tally in 118 matches, while it took Kane just 36 games.  

Kane’s new record come just days after he became the highest scoring Englishman in the Champions League after scoring four goals in Bayern’s 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb. 

The 31-year-old has lived up to the high expectations that saw him join the German outfit from Tottenham last year for £100m. 

Last weekend he became the fastest player to reach 50 goal involvements in Bundesliga history, overtaking a record previously held by Erling Haaland.

The victory against Werder Bremen ensured Bayern’s winning start under Vincent Kompany remains intact, with the side scoring 16 goals and conceding just three from their opening four matches. 

They will seek to continue their bright form when they host Champions Bayer Leverkusen next weekend.
