Harry Kane scored twice in his first Bundesliga appearance in front of a home crowd on Sunday to steer Bayern Munich to a 3-1 victory against Augsburg and make it two wins out of two matches.
Kane, who also scored last week in the league-opening 4-0 win at Werder Bremen, got on the scoresheet with a 40th-minute penalty before adding their third goal in the 69th minute. Kane, whose wife had their fourth child last week, has hit the ground running since his arrival in Munich just over two weeks ago and has now become only the third Bayern player to score three times in his first two league games and the first since Adolfo Valencia in 1993.
It was not until Augsburg’s Felix Uduokhai deflected a save by his own keeper on to the post and over the line for an own goal in the 32nd minute that the Bavarian club went in front. They doubled their lead with Kane’s well-struck penalty, awarded for an Augsburg handball, and upped the pressure after the break, hitting the woodwork with Leroy Sané. The England captain then completed a lightning quick passing move with a fine finish to take his league tally to three goals.
