Harry Kane ended his brief goal drought on Sunday as he opened the scoring for Bayern Munich as early as the second minute of the game against Stuttgart. He then doubled his team’s lead as well as his tally in the 55th minute before Kim Min-jae sealed a convincing 3-0 win for the Bundesliga champions.
With his brace against Stuttgart, Kane became the fastest to reach 20 Bundesliga goals as he achieved the feat in just 14 appearances.
The former Tottenham Hotspur star, who went to Germany this season, emulated Erling Haaland’s feat from the 2022/23 campaign. The Norwegian moved to the Premier League last season from Borussia Dortmund and broke the record of being the fastest to reach 20 goals in the English top-flight. Incidentally, the Manchester City goal machine took 14 league appearances to completely say 20-goal haul – the exact same as Kane this term.
The England captain has been enjoying a purple patch ever since he joined the Bavarian club. He has scored 24 goals across all competitions thus far in 21 matches and has provided eight assists.
The 30-year-old will be next seen in action for his club against Wolfsburg on Wednesday. It will be Bayern’s final game before the Bundesliga’s pause for the winter break.
