FOOTBALLHarry Kane Breaks Chelsea Star’s Record After 5-0 Triumph Over Werder Bremen
Three Lions captain Harry Kane broke another record in Bayern Munich’s 5-0 win over Werder Bremen.
Harry Kane’s incredible goal-scoring pace for Bayern Munich continued in the 5-0 drubbing of Werder Bremen, and it helped him break another record.
The 31-year-old joined the Bundesliga outfit last season and has been scoring with reckless abandon. He won both the Bundesliga and European Golden Boots with his 36 league goals in 32 league matches last term, and he has continued on the same berth this campaign.

Harry Kane’s record-setting performance
Kane has continued from whence he stopped last season, scoring five goals in four league games. Two of the goals that make up his tally from this season came this afternoon during the thumping of Werder Bremen.
The two goals took his tally in the Bundesliga to 41 goals, effectively making him the Englishman with the most goals scored in the German top flight.
The record was previously held by Chelsea’s Jadon Sancho, who scored 40 league goals in 118 games for Borussia Dortmund. Kane equalled and eclipsed the record in only 36 games and could make the record nigh-unattainable for the next Three Lions star to play in the Bundesliga with his current scoring rate.

Meanwhile, Kane set a different goalscoring record last week when he scored four goals against Dinamo Zagreb in Bayern’s 9-2 Champions League opener win.
Three of Harry Kane’s goals were penalties; hence, he became the first player to score a hat-trick of penalties in European competition.
