Harry Kane’s Historic Achievement
In a remarkable achievement, Harry Kane netted his 11th goal of the season during the first half of Bayern Munich’s impressive 3-0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. This milestone marks Kane as the first player in Bundesliga history to score 11 times in the opening six matches of the season.
Match Highlights
The England international, who joined Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur, opened his account with a fierce low shot past Frankfurt’s goalkeeper Kauã Santos in the 27th minute.
Bayern’s scoring frenzy kicked off with summer signing Luis Díaz, who found the net just 15 seconds into the match. He later scored another goal, showcasing the team’s dominance at Deutsche Bank Park.
Kane’s Record-Breaking Performance
Kane’s performance has been nothing short of sensational since his transfer to the German giants. He celebrated reaching a century of goals in the Bundesliga in his last match against Werder Bremen, accomplishing this feat in a record 104 games and surpassing legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland, who both took 105 matches to reach the same milestone for their respective clubs.
Injury Concerns
Despite his record-breaking exploits, Kane’s evening was not without incident. He required treatment for an ankle injury sustained when he collided with Santos as he sprinted into the penalty area, though he had already been flagged offside. After walking off the field for treatment and receiving ice on his ankle, Kane returned briefly to the game but was substituted soon after Díaz’s second goal.
Future Speculations
As he celebrates a place among Bayern’s legends as the 19th player to score 100 goals for the club, Kane’s future remains a topic of discussion. He is under contract until the end of next season, and speculation about a potential return to the Premier League, where he is chasing Alan Shearer’s all-time scoring record, has intensified.
However, Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl suggested that the club is contemplating a contract extension for Kane, emphasizing his importance to the team and the strong desire Kane has expressed to continue winning trophies in Munich.
Upcoming International Matches
As the international break approaches, Kane is set to join his England teammates for upcoming matches against Wales and Latvia.
