A Klassiker with a capital K – that’s how the Bundesliga fans revelled on Saturday. In a Signal Iduna Park full of enthusiasm and passion, Borussia Dortmund (4th) hosted Bayern Munich (2nd) to cause a surprise. The Marsupials were hoping to overtake the Bavarians, when the latter chased down Bayer Leverkusen, who had temporarily taken a five-point lead after a narrow 3-2 win over Hoffenheim. Logically, we can expect a wonderful encounter and a wonderful clash of styles. Bayern Munich momentarily took the lead after a goal by Dayot Upamecano (4′) and crushed the attack to win 4-0. A luck that bears the mark of one man: Harry Kane.
Taking advantage of Leroy Sané’s good plays to momentarily double the lead (9′), the English striker proved to be invaluable. A while later, hitting the post (31′), he kept a constant danger on Gregor Kobel’s goal and streamlined the Rekordmeister attack. The Englishman came close to providing an assist for Jamal Musiala, who was just offside on two occasions (46′ and 70′), but finally saw a brace after a clever cross from Kingsley Coman (72′). At the end of the match, he concluded his recital with another goal after clever moves by Aleksandar Pavlović (90’3). Bayern Munich won 4-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Harry Kane to weigh down the opposition and stay in touch with Bayer Leverkusen. A successful feature that also confirms the dream of the former Tottenham player in Bavaria. Harry Kane makes Robert Lewandowski forget.
With this new hat-trick, his third at Bayern Munich, Harry Kane has 15 goals in 10 Bundesliga games. He is the most sensible goalscorer in this championship as he has beaten Serhou Guirassy at the same time. With 17 goals and 7 goals in 14 games, the right-footed player is unwise, having been decisive in 11 of the 14 games in which he has participated. Bayern Munich CEO Christian Dreesen spoke to Sky Sports Germany about the Englishman’s impact: “It’s just fantastic. As part of the User at fault for this transfer, you are satisfied when things go so well and so quickly. I hope it stays that way.
Appreciated in Germany, Harry Kane continues to be appreciated and followed at home in England, where the press praises him. “Harry Kane breaks Bundesliga record with shock hat-trick in Bayern Munich’s win over Dortmund in Clasico,” The Sun proudly headlines. The Mirror tabloid suggests the 30-year-old striker will win his first title: “Harry Kane continues his immediate debut at Bayern Munich. It’s no surprise that his remarkable form has a major influence on Bayern’s fight for the German league title. “Harry Kane’s impressive debut at Bayern Munich continued: the England captain scored a hat-trick in the win over Borussia Dortmund. Kane has been a great scorer lately,” the BBC reported.
