February 01, (THEWILL) – Harry Kane continued his remarkable goalscoring form in Germany, registering two headers during Bayern Munich’s 4-3 victory against Holstein Kiel at the Allianz Arena. The England captain reached 55 Bundesliga goals in just 50 appearances, setting a record for the most goals scored by any player in their first half-century of German top-flight matches.
Bayern Munich established their dominance early in the contest when Jamal Musiala found the net in the 19th minute, converting Michael Olise’s precise cutback. Kane extended the lead before the interval, meeting Kingsley Coman’s cross with a powerful header beyond goalkeeper Timon Weiner.
The second half commenced with immediate impact from Kane, who required merely 44 seconds to register his second goal, demonstrating excellent movement to guide another header into the net. Serge Gnabry, introduced from the bench to replace Olise, strengthened Bayern’s position with an expertly controlled finish into the roof of the net.
Holstein Kiel mounted an unexpected response through Finn Porath’s right-footed strike past Manuel Neuer after the hour mark. The visitors intensified their efforts in the closing stages, with substitute Steven Skrzybski scoring twice during second-half stoppage time, though Bayern maintained their advantage until the final whistle.
The result strengthened Vincent Kompany’s team’s position at the top of the Bundesliga table, establishing a nine-point gap ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, who face Hoffenheim on Sunday.
