Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane set an impressive Bundesliga record after bagging a hat-trick in the team’s 8-1 win over Mainz.
After a few shaky wins in recent weeks, the Bavarians were in a rampant mood on Saturday evening as they put eight goals pats Mainz.
The England international grabbed the headlines after netting his fourth hat-trick of the season, which is a Bundesliga record in a debut season for a player.
The former Tottenham Hotspur striker has now taken his tally to an impressive 30 league goals, 11 goals short of Lewandowski’s all-time record for most goal in a single campaign.
“We used the momentum today,” Kane said, as per the club’s official website.
“It was a great performance from start to finish. We took our chances against difficult opponents. Now we have to continue showing these kinds of performances in the upcoming weeks.
“I feel good right now and we’re creating a lot of chances as a team.”
The win takes Bayern seven points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who are back in action on Sunday.
