Kane on cloud nine as he sets Bayern record

HARRY KANE maintained his flying start to life at Bayern Munich by scoring a clubrecord ninth goal in his opening eight Bundesliga games to help the champions win 3-1 at Mainz.

Kingsley Coman had put Bayern in front before Kane headed in from close range.

‘I enjoy playing in this team because I know I’m going to get some chances,’ said Kane, the fastest Bayern player to nine goals in a season.

‘We know there’s a long way to go but everything’s going really well.’

Anthony Caci pulled a goal back for Mainz before Leon Goretzka restored Bayern’s two-goal lead.

Bayern remain third in the table, however, after top two Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart also won yesterday.

Jude Bellingham had a goal disallowed as Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Sevilla in La Liga.

Fede Valverde had already had a goal ruled out within the first five minutes after Bellingham was ruled offside by VAR.

And moments later the England star found the net at the same moment as referee Ricardo de Burgos was blowing his whistle for a foul. The controversy just added to the tension in a game already spiced up by it being Sergio Ramos against his old club and former Uruguay manager Diego Alonso’s first match in charge of Sevilla.

It was Sevilla, who play Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday, who took the lead through David Alaba’s own goal but the lead did not last.

Dani Carvajal, having his best season for years, won a free-kick and then headed in Toni Kroos’ delivery.

Ramos got booked for a cynical kick on Bellingham, who also risked a card with a tired lunge that left studs on Ivan Rakitic.

He helped his opponent back to his feet and there was an embrace and no caution.

Bellingham could have won it at the end with a trademark run to the edge of the box but was denied.

Copenhagen, Manchester United’s opponents in the Champions League on Tuesday, warmed up for their trip to Old Trafford with a 2-1 win over Vejle to stay top of the Danish top flight.

Former Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi scored the winner for Jacob Neestrup’s side, who are third in Group A, a point above United.
