In Bayern Munich’s emphatic 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen, Kane scored his 41st league goal, making him the highest-scoring English player in Bundesliga history.

Kane, meanwhile, continues his red-hot streak, having already made his mark in both the league and Europe this season. His incredible form has him on course to break even more records at the club.

It’s been an unforgettable week for Harry Kane. Just days after becoming the top-scoring English player in the Champions League with his four-goal haul against Dinamo Zagreb, Kane now holds another record. His 41st Bundesliga goal places him ahead of Sancho, who only set the record last season. Before Sancho, Tony Woodcock’s long-standing tally of 39 goals for Cologne from the 1980s stood the test of time.
Kane’s impact has been nothing short of phenomenal. He joined Bayern Munich summer last summer, but the England captain has wasted no time in finding the back of the net. Nine goals in all competitions and three assists underline his importance to Bayern’s attacking force. In this match against Werder Bremen, Kane’s composed finish from the edge of the box added to a clinical display, showing exactly why he’s so highly rated across Europe.
Sancho’s 40 goals came in 118 appearances for Dortmund, a figure Kane has surpassed in a third of the time. Kane’s rise is even more impressive because he seamlessly fits into Bayern’s system under Vincent Kompany. His ability to link up with teammates like Olise and Musiala while consistently getting on the scoresheet makes him a key part of their title challenge this season.
