Harry Kane’s sensational start to life at Bayern Munich continued on Tuesday night as he scored twice in a dominant 5-1 victory over Cypriot side Pafos in the Champions League.
Nicolas Jackson also netted his first goal for the German champions.
Kane opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a composed finish before Raphael Guerreiro doubled the lead six minutes later. Jackson then marked his first Bayern goal since joining on loan from Chelsea, converting in the 31st minute to make it 3-0.
Kane added his second of the night shortly afterward, showcasing his surprising dribbling ability as he powered down the left flank before firing home for his 17th goal in just nine appearances this season.
Pafos gave their fans a moment to savour just before half-time when Mislav Orsic unleashed a spectacular strike from distance, their first-ever goal in the Champions League.
Bayern, however, maintained control, with Michael Olise capping his impressive display by scoring from a tight angle in the 69th minute after Jackson’s effort was parried by the goalkeeper. The Bavarians also struck the woodwork three times in what could have been an even heavier scoreline.
The win marked Bayern’s ninth consecutive victory in all competitions to start the season, their best opening run in 13 years.
