Holstein Kiel 1-6 Bayern Munich: Kane hat-trick keeps visitors perfect

Harry Kane’s hat-trick ensured Bayern Munich’s perfect start to their Bundesliga title charge continued as they thrashed newly promoted Holstein Kiel 6-1 on Saturday.

Jamal Musiala, Kane and Nicolai Remberg’s own-goal gave the visitors a commanding lead at the break, with the England captain grabbing his treble in the first minute of second-half injury time.

Vincent Kompany’s side went ahead after just 14 seconds when Musiala finished beyond Timon Weiner, with Kane doubling their advantage six minutes later following a mistake from Lewis Holtby.

Musiala was again involved for Bayern’s third, seeing his cutback turned home by Remberg before Kane put the result beyond doubt with a fine finish from the edge of the box.

Substitute Michael Olise notched his first Bayern goal after Alphonso Davies’ shot was parried into his path, with Armin Gigovic’s 82nd-minute strike taking some of the gloss off an otherwise impressive display.

But Kane was not to be denied his hat-trick after taking a tumble in the box – dusting himself down he emphatically fired home a trademark spot-kick.

14 – Jamal Musiala scored Bayern’s third earliest Bundesliga goal after just 14 seconds – in April 1986 Lothar Matthäus scored after 13 seconds, in January 1998 Giovane Elber found the back of the net after 11 seconds. History. pic.twitter.com/O6tRvh3Z4x
