Author of a hat-trick on Saturday during Bayern Munich’s defeat against Mainz (8-1), Harry Kane matched a performance not seen for twenty years in the Bundesliga.
The awakening was thunderous. After a series of disappointing and even sometimes worrying matches in the league, Bayern Munich delivered a choice performance this Saturday. At home, Thomas Tuchel’s men pulverized Mainz, penultimate in the Bundesliga (8-1, 25th day). During the game, Harry Kane was there again, scoring a hat-trick. Enough to leave its mark a little more on the recent history of the German championship.
Because as reported Mundo Deportivo, this is the very first time in twenty years that a Bundesliga player has achieved the performance of scoring at least two goals in eight separate matches, for his very first season in Germany. The last man to achieve such a performance was former Austrian star Anton Polster, when he played for Cologne in 1993-94.
Bundesliga top scorer
As for Harry Kane, he continues to score goals like pearls on a beautiful necklace. With his three new goals, the England international has now scored thirty league goals since the start of the season, which makes him, by far, the current top scorer in the Bundesliga. His direct pursuer is VfB Stuttgart striker and former Stade Rennais, Serhouj Guirassy, with twenty-one goals.
Kane therefore has a good chance of finishing at the top of this ranking, he who would also like to see his team manage to fill the hole which currently separates it from the undisputed leader, Bayer Leverkusen. Nine days before the end of the season, and while waiting for Xabi Alonso’s men to play this Sunday against Wolfsburg (7:30 p.m.), Munich is seven points behind its opponent. A few more doubles from Harry Kane surely won’t be too much.
