Kane sets personal record with double in Bayern win

-

England striker Harry Kane scored twice in Bayern Munich’s 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt to set a new personal record for his most goals in a season.

The 30-year-old has scored 42 goals in all competitio­ns in his debut campaign for Bayern, beating his previous best haul of 41 for Tottenham in 2017-18.

His first goal saw him tuck home a cross from nine yards, before he converted a penalty in the second half.

The double means Kane has now scored 400 goals for club and country.

He has netted against 16 of the 17 other Bundesliga teams - a joint record in a campaign along with Gerd Müller (1966-67 & 1969-70), Ailton (2003-04) and Robert Lewandowsk­i (2019-20 and 2020-21).

Kane is the first player to score or assist against all 17 sides in a debut season - with Kane assisting against Freiburg in October, but failing to score in either match.

Leverkusen are unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen remain on course for the first unbeaten campaign in Bundesliga history. Bayer Leverkusen scored another stoppage-time equaliser to extend their unbeaten run to 46 games with a 2-2 draw against Stuttgart on Saturday

Robert Andrich netted in the 96th minute at the BayArena to secure a point for Leverkusen, who have already been crowned

Bundesliga champions. They had trailed 2-0 after 56 minutes on Saturday but fought back to keep their unbeaten record in tact.

Xabi Alonso’s side secured their first German title with five games to spare but are aiming for the first unbeaten campaign in Bundesliga history - and remain on course with three games left.

Chris Fuhrich lashed home to open the scoring for third-placed Stuttgart just after the break, before Deniz Undav tucked into the bottom corner nine minutes later. Leverkusen pulled one back through Amine Adli but it looked like Alonso’s team were finally heading for a first defeat of the campaign - until Andrich scored.

They remain unbeaten in all competitio­ns this season with 39 wins and seven draws and are on course for a treble in Alonso’s first full season in charge, with the German Cup final still to come. Other results: RB Leipzig 4 Borussia Dortmund 1, Augsburg 0 Werder Bremen 3, Freiburg 1 Wolfsburg 2.
