Harry Kane scored yet again on Friday to lead Bayern Munich to the top of the Bundesliga with a 1-0 win at Cologne.
While No other player has ever scored 18 goals in the first 12 rounds of the Bundesliga, Kane also became the first English player to reach 18 goals in a single Bundesliga season, overtaking the 17 scored both by Jadon Sancho for Borussia Dortmund (2019-20) and Kevin Keegan for Hamburger SV (1978-79).
From Bayern's point of view, Kane's goal put the pressure on early season leader Bayer Leverkusen, which can reclaim first place Saturday with a win at Werder Bremen.
But Bayern missed several opportunities to put the result beyond doubt and had to endure an unnecessarily nervy final minutes in Cologne, where Jamal Musiala scored late on the final day last season to snatch the title for Bayern from Borussia Dortmund.
