Kane scores brace to extend Bayern’s perfect start to Bundesliga season

England captain Harry Kane scored twice on his home Bundesliga debut as Bayern Munich defeated Bavarian neighbours Augsburg 3-1 on Sunday.

Kane, who was on target in his league bow at Werder Bremen last weekend, converted a first-half penalty on Sunday and added another goal after the break.

The win sees Bayern with a maximum six points from two games and second in the table behind Union Berlin who also have two wins.

Augsburg defended well under relentless Bayern pressure but they went behind on 32 minutes when Felix Udoukhai put through his own goal.

A VAR intervention found an Augsburg handball just inside the box minutes later, bringing Kane to the spot.

Kane, who has shown no signs of being burdened by his €100-million transfer fee, blasted the ball nervelessly down the middle to double Bayern’s lead.

Kane scored another midway through the second half, expertly dinking a pass from Canada wing-back Alphonso Davies over Augsburg ‘keeper Finn Dahmen to seal the win.
