Harry Kane hits maiden Bundesliga hat-trick, assists twice as Bayern Munich demolish VfL Bochum 7-0

Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane scored his first Bundesliga hat-trick and delivered two assists in their 7-0 demolition of VfL Bochum on Saturday to take his tally to seven and set a club record for most goals by a player in his first five league matches.

Kane's three goals put him above club great Gerd Mueller, Miroslav Klose and Mario Mandzukic who all scored five times in their first five Bundesliga games.

The Bavarians, who beat Manchester United 4-3 in their Champions League opener on Wednesday, could have added at least a few more were it not for keeper Manuel Riemann and his string of outstanding saves throughout the match.

  »Everyone was in top form today, it felt very good. I'm getting to know the team better with every game and things are going very well for me and for the team."
