Harry Kane made history as he became the fastest player to score 50 Bundesliga goals in Bayern Munich's 3-0 victory over Augsburg on Friday. The 31-year-old striker showcased his prowess by netting all three goals for Bayern, further solidifying the club's strong start to the Bundesliga season.
Kane's remarkable feat saw him reach the milestone of 50 goals in just 43 games, surpassing Erling Haaland's previous record of 50 goals in 50 games for Borussia Dortmund. The England international's exceptional performance was pivotal in Bayern's dominant display against Augsburg.
Following a goalless first half, Kane seized the opportunity after the break, scoring twice from the penalty spot before completing his hat-trick with a skillful finish. His ability to find the back of the net with precision and creativity was on full display throughout the match.
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany praised Kane's impact, highlighting his knack for seizing opportunities and delivering crucial goals when needed. Kane's decisive goals in added time, including a spectacular finish off a perfectly executed cross from Leon Goretzka, underscored his clinical finishing and composure under pressure.
With the win over Augsburg, Bayern Munich extended its lead at the top of the Bundesliga table, now sitting eight points clear of RB Leipzig. The team remains unbeaten in the season's first 11 games, with Kane contributing significantly with 14 goals to their impressive run.
Looking ahead, Bayern faces a tough challenge against French powerhouse PSG in the Champions League, where Kane will aim to continue his exceptional form in front of goal. His remarkable performance against Augsburg has solidified his status as one of the most prolific strikers in European football.
