England captain Harry Kane continued his blistering form for Bayern Munich, scoring a hat-trick in a 3-0 victory over Augsburg on Friday night.
This feat marked Kane’s seventh hat-trick for the German club, making him the fastest player to reach 50 Bundesliga goals.
With this achievement, Kane surpassed Erling Haaland’s previous record, reaching the milestone in just 43 matches.
His two penalties and a skillful header sealed the win for Bayern and extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table to eight points.
Kane’s impressive performance comes on the heels of being dropped from the England national team’s starting lineup for a recent Nations League match.
However, he quickly regained his place and contributed to a 5-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland.
Despite concerns raised by former England player Paul Scholes about Kane’s future with the national team, the striker remains determined to lead England to a major tournament victory.
His focus now turns to the upcoming Champions League clash against PSG, where Bayern will aim to secure their place in the knockout stages.
