Harry Kane became the fastest player to reach 100 goals for a club in Europe's top five leagues after bagging a brace for Bayern Munich against Werder Bremen. The England captain had scored 98 goals in just 103 games for Bayern before kick-off, but his double in Friday's Bundesliga clash brought up his century and put him in a league of his own.
Kane hits 99th & 100th goals for Bayern
Portugal legend Ronaldo had hit the 100-goal mark for Real Madrid in 105 games, and Erling Haaland had matched that for Manchester City. But Kane's first-half penalty and second-half strike for the German giants meant he has 100 goals in just 104 appearances – a club record for the Bavarians and an unprecedented feat across Europe's top five leagues.

When Kane swapped Spurs for Bayern in 2023, many doubted whether he would be able to excel in the Bundesliga. But his numbers do not lie, with the 32-year-old repeatedly snapping records at the German giants. He extended his penalty streak for Kompany's side and more are likely to tumble if he keeps up his incredible scoring rate.
Bayern continue excellent run of form
With this victory at Allianz Arena, Bayern made it five wins from five Bundesliga games this season, a result that put them five points ahead of Borussia Dortmund, but they do have a game in hand. This was also their eighth victory in a row in all competitions, with Kane's side in irresistible form at present.
