In a remarkable display of skill, Harry Kane achieved a milestone by scoring his 50th Bundesliga goal at an unprecedented speed, netting a hat-trick in Bayern Munich’s commanding 3-0 victory against Augsburg.
The England captain required three goals to reach a significant milestone. He netted the first with a penalty in the 63rd minute and followed up with two additional goals during injury time.
His second goal was also scored from the penalty spot following a foul by Keven Schlotterbeck, who received a second yellow card and was subsequently sent off. Moments later, Kane added his third goal just before full-time, showcasing an impressive first touch to control the ball before heading it in.
He has scored 50 goals in just 43 Bundesliga matches, eclipsing Erling Haaland’s record of 50 goals in 50 appearances for Borussia Dortmund before the Norwegian’s transfer to Manchester City.
Bayern’s latest victory has propelled them eight points ahead of Leipzig at the league’s summit, setting the stage for the upcoming weekend’s matches. This win also solidifies the German powerhouse’s unbeaten streak, boasting nine wins and two draws from their 11 fixtures thus far.
Dismantling their defence was anticipated to pose a significant challenge. “We understood the importance of patience,” Kane remarked to DAZN.
During the half-time break, the message was clear: “We simply need to continue with our current approach.” “Fortunately, we secured the penalty that allowed us to take control of the match, and we executed our strategy effectively to close it out.”
This season, the 31-year-old has significantly impacted Bayern, scoring 14 goals in just 11 league matches, including five from the penalty spot.
“I dedicate a significant amount of time to them,” Kane remarked. “They play a significant role in the game.” Once again, they assisted today.
“I have certainly missed several training sessions, but I believe this is the appropriate time to do so.”
This season has proven historic for Kane, as he has reached the milestone of 20 goals across all competitions.
In a remarkable display of skill, he netted four goals during the 9-2 victory against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League this September. This performance secured a commanding win for his team. It established him as the leading English scorer in Champions League or European Cup history, amassing 33 goals in 45 appearances and surpassing Wayne Rooney’s previous record of 30 goals.
Kane made history by becoming the first English player to net four goals in a Champions League match.
