Harry Kane breaks TWO more Bundesliga records with 18th goal of the season against Koln.
Harry Kane set two new records in the Bundesliga after breaking the deadlock for Bayern Munich against FC Koln last Friday.
Securing a 1-0 lead with a tap-in 20 minutes into the game, Kane marked his name in history as the first Bundesliga player to score 18 goals in the opening 12 games of a season. Additionally, he became the inaugural Englishman to achieve 18 goals in a single Bundesliga season.

Kane’s exceptional performance has been nothing short of remarkable since his transition from Tottenham to Bayern in the summer. In just 12 games, he notched 18 goals and added four more in four Champions League appearances.
This outstanding form has propelled Bayern to the top of the league, though they are only expected to widen the gap to four points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen, who are scheduled to face Werder Bremen over the weekend.
Maintaining a prolific goal-scoring rate of 1.5 goals per game, Kane is on course to achieve a remarkable 51 goals in the Bundesliga this season. He has already surpassed the previous season’s Golden Boot winner.
As the English international consistently finds the back of the net, it seems likely that Kane will continue to shatter records. Bayern’s upcoming challenge in the Champions League sees them facing Copenhagen midweek.
