Harry Kane excelled in his first derby match with Bayern Munich, scoring three goals to lead his team to a 4-0 victory over host Borussia Dortmund in the German first division on Saturday, raising his tally to 15 goals in ten league matches.
Bayern opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a header by Dayo Upamecano, taking advantage of a corner kick by Leroy Sane, before Kane, who moved to the Bavarian team this summer from Tottenham Hotspur, doubled the team’s lead after five minutes from close range, taking advantage of a pass from the German player.
Dortmund looked better in the second half, but Kane, Bayern’s record signing, scored his second goal in the 72nd minute with a shot from inside the penalty area before completing his third hat-trick this season after a quick start and a wonderful finish.
Kane became the first player to score 15 goals in the first ten league matches, and tops the competition’s top scorers by one goal ahead of Stuttgart’s Serho Geraci.
Captain and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said, “We are very happy to have him in the team,” while veteran Thomas Muller joked that Kane would need extra space to hold match balls.
With its fourth consecutive victory in the league, the Bavarian team’s tally rises to 26 points in second place, only two points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen, which thwarted the Hoffenheim uprising to win 3-2, achieving its sixth victory in a row thanks to two goals from Alex Grimaldo.
After suffering its first defeat in the league this season, which came after 25 matches in which it did not lose at home, Dortmund’s balance stands at 21 points in fourth place.
