Harry Kane has become the fastest Bundesliga player in history to hit 100 goals.

Kane found the target for the 100th time in the Bundesliga since his 2023 move from Tottenham Hotspur.

He has managed to reach a century of goals in just 98 appearances by tucking away a penalty in the 39th minute of the game.

This has smashed the record previously held by German icon Dieter Muller, who took 129 matches to score 100 in 1977 for FC Cologne.

Since joining Bayern in 2023, Kane has scored a goal every 78.5 minutes in the Bundesliga.

That is a better rate than Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski.

In Bayern's last match, a 2-1 win over Elversberg, Kane became the fastest player in their history to hit 150 goals.

The 33-year-old managed to do so in his 153rd Bayern appearance.

Last season, he scored 61 goals in 51 matches across all competitions and won the European Golden Boot with 36 league strikes.

Kane is in a strong position for the Ballon d'Or title, with the striker one of the favourites to be crowned at next month's ceremony.

Should he win, he would become the first English player since Michael Owen in 2001 to receive the honour.
