Watch! Harry Kane brace breaks record as Bayern Munich move to top of Bundesliga

Harry Kane scored again — and again — as Bayern Munich survived a scare to beat promoted Heidenheim 4-2 and moved top of the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The England captain, who already had a record-equaling 15 goals in his first 10 German league games, needed just 14 minutes to grab his first against Heidenheim, then followed up with another before halftime.

Harry Kane is the first player to score 17 goals in the opening 11 fixtures of a Bundesliga season.

Heidenheim hit back by scoring two goals in three minutes to shock the home fans.

Tim Kleindienst scored in the 67th after Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting lost the ball in midfield and Jan-Niklas Beste equalised after a botched pass from Bayern defender Kim Min-jae.

But Raphaël Guerreiro saved Bayern embarrassment two minutes later with his first goal for the Bavarian powerhouse – on the rebound after Müller saved Choupo-Moting’s initial effort – and Choupo-Moting sealed the win in the 85th, set up by fellow substitute Mathys Tel.

Bayern’s ninth win from 11 games lifted the team a point above Bayer Leverkusen, which can return to the top with a win over Union Berlin on Sunday.
