Harry Kane continued his incredible scoring form with a brace as Bayern Munich dismantled Hamburg 5-0 in their Bundesliga clash on Saturday.
The England captain struck in each half, taking his Bayern tally to 93 goals in 101 games, as the Bavarian giants climbed to the top of the table.
Serge Gnabry opened the floodgates just three minutes in, blasting into the roof of the net, before youngster Aleksandar Pavlovic doubled the lead six minutes later. Kane converted from the penalty spot midway through the first half after a handball, while Luis Diaz made it 4-0 shortly after with his fourth goal since joining in the summer.
Nicolas Jackson, on loan from Chelsea, made his Bayern debut after coming on at half-time. Kane then capped the rout by starting and finishing a move to score Bayern’s fifth in the 62nd minute.
Gnabry praised the team’s chemistry, saying, “Things are going well in the team. We’re playing well together, we’re moving the ball around nicely.”
Bayern now sit as the only side with three wins from three, strengthening their dominance over Hamburg, who last won in Munich back in 2007. Since then, Bayern have won 16 and drawn three at home in the series, racking up 76 goals to Hamburg’s seven.
Elsewhere, Serhou Guirassy extended his hot streak with a goal in Dortmund’s 2-0 win at 10-man Heidenheim, Freiburg pulled off a late comeback to beat Stuttgart 3-1, while Hoffenheim, Leipzig, and Cologne also featured in dramatic results across the league.
