Harry\u2019s stunning form continues as Bayern cruise to a fifth straight Bundesliga victory
\n MUNICH
\nHarry Kane scored twice to reach 100 goals for Bayern Munich on Friday as the German champions continued their perfect start to the Bundesliga season with a 4-0 win over Werder Bremen.
\nPlaying his 104th game for Bayern, Kane became the fastest man to 100 goals with a club in Europe\u2019s top-five leagues, breaking the record of 105 matches jointly held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland.
\nThe England striker is averaging two goals a game in the current Bundesliga campaign.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s crazy even for me to be honest. It\u2019s an honour to reach 100 goals for this great club and to do it so quickly is something I\u2019m really proud of,\u201d Kane told Sky Germany.
\nBayern coach Vincent Kompany also hailed his striker\u2019s performance, noting that it was not just goals that Kane delivered.
\n\u201cI always remind people to look at his defensive work and how much he tracks back as well. He\u2019s broken this record but he\u2019s done so while giving so much to the team,\u201d said the Belgian.
\nBayern celebrated the first weekend of Oktoberfest in style as a brace from Kane and goals from Jonathan Tah and Konrad Laimer saw them claim their fifth win in five league games.
\nKane had two early chances to score as he and Michael Olise carved through the Bremen defence in the opening minutes.
\nHe skewed the first chance wide and was denied on the second by Arsenal loanee and Bundesliga debutant Karl Hein in the Bremen goal.
\nTah gave Bayern the lead on 22 minutes, flicking in an elegant backheel off Luis Diaz\u2019s knee after a fizzing cross from Olise.
\nThe visitors were looking to hit Bayern on the break, but became increasingly fenced into their own penalty area as the first half progressed.
\nKane struck just before the break, drawing a foul from Marco Friedl in the box and slotting the penalty coolly into the bottom corner.
\nThat was his 99th goal in a Bayern shirt and 20 minutes after the break, he sidefooted in a pass from Diaz to bring up his century.
\nLaimer added a fourth after a well-worked move three minutes from time, but not for the first time in the Allianz Arena, it was Kane\u2019s night.
\n– \u2018Loving every minute\u2019 –
\nThe former Tottenham striker now has 15 goals in eight games across all competitions so far this season.
\nHis breathtaking run of form comes amid rumours linking him with a move either to Barcelona or a return to the Premier League next summer.
\nYet Kane himself dismissed the transfer gossip after Friday\u2019s game, insisting Bayern was \u201cabsolutely\u201d the best place for him to win titles.
\n\u201cI\u2019m really happy here at Bayern. I\u2019ve got two years left on my contract and I\u2019m loving every minute. I enjoy playing here in front of the fans, I enjoy the team and the manager, so it\u2019s not in my thought process at all,\u201d he said.
\nHe added that he would be open to extending his contract with Bayern.
\n\u201cWe haven\u2019t had that conversation yet, but it\u2019s something I\u2019m sure we can discuss. Nobody\u2019s panicking yet and when the time comes, we\u2019ll have an open honest conversation about where I\u2019m at and what the future of this club is. All I can say is we\u2019re heading in the right direction.\u201d
\n\u201cMy family are settled now, my kids are in school. So from that point of view I\u2019m not homesick.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
