Harry Kane has become the fastest player to score fifty Bundesliga goals after his hat-trick for Bayern Munich on Friday night.
Kane scored all three goals in the match as Bayern beat Augsburg at the Allianz Arena following the international break.
In doing so, the England captain surpassed a record previously set by Erling Haaland when he was at Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian scored his 50th Bundesliga goal in his 50th game in the league in November 2021, beating Timo Konietzka’s previous record by nine matches.
Kane has been in imperious form since joining Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023 and it took him only 43 games to score 50 goals in the German top flight. The 31-year-old has also registered 14 assists in those matches.
Despite Kane’s 36 league goals — 44 in all competitions — last season, Bayern ended the campaign trophyless, finishing third and 18 points behind the undefeated champions Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.
This term, Bayern themselves are undefeated after 11 games with nine wins and two draws, with Friday’s win putting them eight points ahead of second-placed RB Leipzig, who play on Saturday.
