Harry Kane continued his goal-machine heroics at Bayern Munich and equalled yet another club goal record with his latest strike in Germany.
Kane gave Bayern the lead against Borussia Monchengladbach and also maintained his own personal scoring streak on Saturday afternoon to tie level with a cult icon.

Taking advantage of a defensive error, fox in the box Kane pounced on a loose ball to nod it up and over the goalkeeper into an empty net.
It was a crucial goal for the Bavarian giants, who found themselves 1-0 down before 19-year-old midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic scored an important equaliser on the stroke of half-time.
Kane then found the net in the 70th minute to give Bayern the lead, and Thomas Tuchel's side were able to relax after Matthijs de Ligt added a third in the 86th minute.
The win maintained their Bundesliga title hopes - Kane's hopes of lifting the first trophy of his career - with Bayer Leverkusen only points ahead in top spot.
But Kane's goal will see the Englishman in the headlines again, with the 30-year-old making it 24 Bundesliga strikes in a remarkable debut campaign outside of his homeland.
That ties a record set by Luca Toni for the most Bundesliga goals scored in a player's debut season for Bayern Munich.
Former Italy striker Toni managed that feat in 2007, with it taking 17 years for Kane to come along and get anywhere near it.
And it's an easy bet to assume Kane will beat it to set a new high for the best debut season in Bayern history.

That's only as far as the Bundesliga is concerned, though, as Toni scored 39 goals in all competitions in his first season for the German giants.
Although, Kane is already on 27 and with half of the season still to play who knows what number he could end up on.
It also means he goes one closer to breaking Robert Lewandowski's incredible 41 goals scored in the 2020/21 season - the record for the most goals in a German top flight campaign.
