Harry Kane surpasses Lewandowski’s record, hands Bayern 1-0 win over FC Cologne

Harry Kane scored his 18th goal in 12 appearances for Bayern Munich on Friday against FC Cologne, surpassing Robert Lewandowski’s record.

Bayern entered the match hoping to reclaim the top spot in the Bundesliga title race, and Kane’s striker instinct came to the rescue when he pounced on a rebound from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s blocked shot, securing a 1-0 victory for the visitors.

With 18 Bundesliga goals to his name, Kane has surpassed Robert Lewandowski’s debut season record at Bayern.

The Poland international netted 17 goals in 31 Bundesliga games during the 2014/15 campaign.

Kane’s form extends beyond domestic competition, boasting a total of 22 goals in 17 appearances across all competitions, including the Champions League.

Bayern Munich remains undefeated in the league, with Kane’s impact playing a huge role.

The former Tottenham star is believed to be trophy hungry, having spent over a decade without a silverware.

Meanwhile, Bayern’s history of success, added to his overwhelming form, will most likely make his dreams come true.
