Harry Kane shattered two more records as his incredible scoring spree with Bayern Munich continued.
The England captain hit the only goal as the Bundesliga champions won at Cologne to go top of the table. Kane netted from close range in the 20th minute after Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting's shot was cleared off the line.
His 18th goal of the season saw him break two records. First, he became the first player in Bundesliga history to score 18 goals in the first 12 matchdays of a season.

Secondly, he is the first English player to score 18 goals in a Bundesliga campaign, a season which is just a third old. Jadon Sancho, for Borussia Dortmund in 2019/20, and Kevin Keegan, for Hamburg in 1978/79, both scored 17.
Kane’s arrival has filled the void created by Robert Lewandowski’s departure in 2022. He has surpassed what the Polish goal machine did in his first season with Bayern, the 2014/15 campaign, which saw him hit 17 in 31 games. Kane has 22 in all competitions, making him the leading scorer in the top five leagues across Europe.

The 30-year-old's goalscoring exploits are being lauded around Europe. One fan said: “Incredible achievement by Harry Kane! The record-breaking history he's making in the Bundesliga is truly remarkable.”

Another declared: “At this point, I think we can all agree that #HarryKane is undoubtedly the best candidate for the next #BallonDor. What a player #Bayern has got there.”
Despite Kane’s goals, Bayern aren’t running away at the top of the table and Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen will go back to the summit if they win at Werder Bremen on Saturday.
