English striker Harry Kane has just erased a historic mark in the German Bundesliga.
Harry Kane is on the rise. The English international striker is stacking goals like pearls in the German championship and he did it again this Saturday during the match between his team Bayern and promoted Heindenheim.
Kane doesn’t stop!
The former Tottenham player only needed 14 minutes to find the net, converting a serve from Leroy Sané. And this goal is his 16e in the German elite. The 17th followed an hour and a half later (44th), still with the two men in the same roles.

17 goals in just 11 games played. No one had ever done better in the history of this championship. And that’s already more achievements than those accumulated by the two top scorers of the past season, in this case Niclas Fullkrug and Christopher Nkunku (16 each).
Note that in his last five matches in all competitions alone, Kane has scored 10 goals. In addition, in the last 8 games he played, he only remained silent once. It was during the Cup match against Saarbrücken. A match which ended with the elimination of Bayern. As luck would have it…
