Harry Kane has now achieved another record to his name as he became the fastest player to reach 50 goals in the Bundesliga after his hattrick against Augsburg. Harry Kane achieved this feat in just 43 matches.

Against Augsburg, he had to be patient as Augsburg goalkeeper Nediljko Labrović and his defenders stood firm.

“It was somehow typical Harry Kane,” Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said. “It was close in the first half, close, close, close, and then it happens, I think three goals in 15 minutes. Of course, he can do that. But for such a player, I have to say, he had a lot of chances that he could maybe make more of. Then, in an instant, everything is perfect and he can score many goals.”
