Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane scored twice in a 5-0 thrashing of promoted Hamburg, consolidating their position at the top of the Bundesliga table.

Bayern Munich’s dominance over Hamburg was evident in their 5-0 win, with Harry Kane scoring two crucial goals. Serge Gnabry set the tone early with a powerful angled strike in the third minute, followed by Aleksandar Pavlovic’s finish six minutes later, courtesy of Kane’s assist.

Kane’s penalty kick in the 26th minute further solidified Bayern’s lead. The video assistant referee awarded the penalty after Hamburg’s Aboubaka Soumahoro was deemed to have handled the ball inside the box. Luis Diaz added to Hamburg’s woes with a stunning 25-yard shot, capitalizing on a quickly taken free-kick by Joshua Kimmich.

Bayern’s manager, Vincent Kompany, introduced Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea’s on-loan striker, at halftime. However, Kane stole the show again, scoring his second goal 17 minutes into the second half. This impressive strike brought Bayern’s tally to five goals, with Kane’s performance earning him widespread acclaim.

The England captain’s goal tally now stands at 67 goals in 65 Bundesliga games for Bayern, showcasing his remarkable skill and consistency. Kane’s fifth league strike of the season was a testament to his prowess, although he was denied a ninth hat-trick in the German top flight after being substituted shortly after his second goal.

As Bayern looks to maintain their winning streak, their next challenge will be against Chelsea in the Champions League.
