Kane double helps Bayern Munich beat Union Berlin 7-0
Dieter Müller’s record of 129 games had stood since 1977
Harry Kane smashed the 49-year-old record for the fastest player to score 100 Bundesliga goals in Bayern Munich’s 7-0 victory over Union Berlin, his 98th league game for the club.
Cologne’s Dieter Müller set the previous mark in 1977, but it took him 129 matches and, with the England captain scoring at better than a goal a game, a new record had been inevitable for some time. Since his arrival in 2023 Kane had been averaging a Bundesliga goal every 78.5 minutes and has now scored 152 in 154 appearances in all competitions, including 61 in 51 games last term.
He criticized home a 39th-minute penalty to take the record before nodding in a Michael Olise cross early in the second half to send Bayern top of the table before the other weekend matches.
The feat stole the spotlight from Olise, who scored his first Bayern hat-trick, and Jamal Musiala, who also scored a goal worthy of winning any game.
“I’m very proud to have now scored 100 and 101 Bundesliga goals. I haven’t been around that long. I’ve loved every second of it,” Kane told Sky Germany. “With Michael, Lucho [Luis Díaz] and Jamal I naturally get chances and today was no exception.
“So I just want to thank the team, the club, the coach, and the staff – everyone who has helped me achieve this. Let’s keep going like this. Scoring more goals in games is obviously a big step. Of course, there have been many important goals among them. I can only say that I’m enjoying every minute of it. Just like today.”
