Kane hits century in record 98 games as Bayern smash seven past Union Berlin

Kane's landmark moment

Harry Kane reached another milestone in Bayern Munich's seven-goal rout of Union Berlin. The England captain hit the century mark with the first of his two goals in what was only his 98th Bundesliga appearance. Nobody has made it to three figures so fast.

As has so often been the case during Kane's time at Bayern, the best player on the pitch was actually Michael Olise. He scored three and set up Kane's second in another classy outing. Kane is tipped for the Ballon d'Or but his team-mate surely cannot be far behind.

Dortmund remain the only unbeaten side

Elsewhere in the Bundesliga there was yet more woe for Borussia Monchengladbach as they came out on the wrong side of a seven-goal thriller against Mainz. Augsburg were beaten for the first time at Werder Bremen and Freiburg lost their 100 per cent record at Eintracht Frankfurt.

That means the only team yet to drop a point in the Bundesliga are Borussia Dortmund. Maxi Beier scored the winner away to Stuttgart with substitute Jobe Bellingham helping to make the difference by providing the assist for what was the only goal of the game.

It was a difficult day for Dortmund coach Niko Kovac, who was told on air after the game about the passing of Peter Hermann, his former assistant manager at Bayern, aged 74. Fighting back tears during the interview, it was impossible not to feel for him. But what a job he is doing. There are clear signs of progress at Dortmund: they have won all six of their matches in all competitions and have more clean sheets than Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga since the summer of 2025. Stay solid and they have a chance.
