Harry Kane became the fastest player to score 50 Bundesliga goals as Bayern Munich beat Augsburg 3-0 on Friday.
The 31-year-old striker netted all three of Bayern’s goals as the club continued its impressive start to the Bundesliga season. Kane has now scored 50 goals in 43 games in the German top division, beating Erling Haaland’s record of 50 goals in 50 games when he was starring for Borussia Dortmund. After a goalless opening 45 minutes, the England striker found the back of the net three times following the halftime break.
With time running out, Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka delivered a perfectly weighted cross which found Kane in the Augsburg box. Rather than shoot first time, Kane expertly controlled the ball – deceiving the Augsburg goalkeeper – before heading into an open net. “That’s what makes it so difficult against Harry Kane: you can defend well against him the whole game, but then eventually the space opens up and he strikes,” Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany said, per the German team.
