Harry Kane scored twice in Bayern Munich’s 4-2 victory over Heidenheim on Saturday to lift them into top spot in the Bundesliga while extending his own record-breaking scoring run in Germany.

Kane, who has scored 21 goals in 15 matches in the Bundesliga and Champions League for Bayern, opened his account in the 14th minute with a superb turn and shot in the box. The England captain struck again with a powerful header a minute before the break to become the first player in Bundesliga history to score 17 goals in the first 11 matchdays of a season.
