In his 12th league match, Harry Kane scored his 18th goal, making him the first Englishman to achieve this in a Bundesliga season. The goal came in the 20th minute after Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s shot was cleared off the line. This victory propelled Bayern Munich one point ahead of Bayer Leverkusen, who had a game in hand. Leverkusen, the only other unbeaten team in the league, will strive to reclaim the top spot on Saturday. Since Bayern’s last match against Cologne in May, where they secured a 2-1 win, they have signed Kane from Tottenham in their pursuit of a 12th consecutive Bundesliga title. Kane’s impact was evident as he played a crucial role in Bayern’s attacking moves. His goal, along with a stellar performance, solidified Bayern’s lead in the league.
The highest number of goals scored by an English player in a single Bundesliga season.
Harry Kane set a record with 18 goals in one Bundesliga season while playing for Bayern Munich in 2023-24. This surpassed the previous record of 17 goals held jointly by Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund, 2019-20) and Kevin Keegan (Hamburg, 1978-79). Additionally, Tony Woodcock scored 15 goals in a Bundesliga season for Cologne in 1981-82.
