Harry Kane breaks yet another Bundesliga record as England captain surpasses football legend and Man Utd outcast
HARRY KANE has broken yet another Bundesliga record after scoring for Bayern Munich once again.
The England captain grabbed his 18th goal of the season away to Koln on Friday night.
His strike extends his lead as the league’s top scorer as Kane poked home after Bayern had an effort cleared off the line.
In doing so, he has broken the record for most goals by an Englishman in the Bundesliga in a single season.
The record has previously been held by both Kevin Keegan and Jadon Sancho.
Keegan spent three years in Germany with Hamburg, winning two Ballon d’Ors during that time.
His 32 Bundesliga goals included 17 during the 1978/79 season as he fired his side to the title.
That record was equalled in 2019/20 as Sancho paired 17 assists with an equal number of goals across 32 league appearances for Dortmund.
He joined Manchester United a year later, clearing the path for Kane to break the record this season.
The former Tottenham man has been in fine form since joining the German champions in the summer.

As well as 18 league goals, he has also found the net four times in as many Champions League matches.
Kane previously set a new record for the quickest player to reach 15 Bundesliga goals in a season, but has since been surpassed, as well as outscoring last season’s golden boot winner.
He is on course to break more records, with Robert Lewandowski’s 22 goals in the first half of the 2020/21 season now in his sights.
Bayern have four more league matches remaining before the winter break.
