February 14, (THEWILL) — Bayern Munich restored their six-point cushion at the Bundesliga summit with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Werder Bremen at Weserstadion. England captain, Harry Kane, scored twice to reach 500 career goals for club and country, whilst Leon Goretzka completed the scoring for Vincent Kompany’s side.
The visitors took control in the 22nd minute when Kane converted from the penalty spot after Niklas Stark fouled Lennart Karl inside the box. Three minutes later, Kane struck again from the edge of the area, whipping the ball past Mio Backhaus to achieve his remarkable personal milestone.
Werder Bremen sought a route back into the contest with Felix Agu firing narrowly wide and Marco Grull striking the post with a header. Despite their efforts, the hosts could not breach Bayern’s defence before the interval.
Mio Backhaus denied Serge Gnabry after the break, but Bayern wrapped up the points with 20 minutes remaining. Alphonso Davies delivered a cutback that Goretzka slotted home neatly to put the result beyond doubt.
The triumph strengthens Bayern’s grip on top spot under Kompany, with Kane’s prolific scoring form continuing to drive their title challenge. The striker’s 500th goal marks a significant achievement in his decorated career across English and German football.
