Harry Kane has rewritten German football history by becoming the fastest player to reach 100 Bundesliga goals, achieving the milestone in just his 98th league appearance during Bayern Munich ’s 7-0 victory over Union Berlin .

The England captain broke a mark set 49 years ago by Cologne’s Dieter Muller, who required 129 matches in 1977. Kane’s remarkable efficiency — averaging a league goal every 78.5 minutes since arriving in 2023 — ensured the record was long inevitable.

He now has 152 goals in 154 appearances in all competitions, including 61 in 51 games last term.

He secured the landmark with a 39th-minute penalty before heading in a Michael Olise cross early in the second half, putting Bayern top of the table ahead of the weekend matches.

The feat upstaged Olise, who scored his first Bayern hat-trick, and Jamal Musiala, who also scored a goal worthy of winning the game.

“I’m very proud to have now scored 100 and 101 Bundesliga goals. I haven’t been around that long. I’ve loved every second of it,” he told Sky Germany.

“With Michael, Lucho (Luis Diaz) and Jamal I naturally get chances and today was no exception.

“So I just want to thank the team, the club, the coach, and the staff – everyone who has helped me achieve this.
