Harry Kane the history-maker! Bayern Munich striker bags double on 50th Bundesliga outing as Vincent Kompany's side survive late scare against Holstein Kiel to extend lead at summit to nine points

Bundesliga

VfB Stuttgart

Bayern Munich

Union Berlin

Holstein Kiel

Kane was the star of the show once again for Bayern as Vincent Kompany's side saw off a spirited challenge from the Bundesliga newcomers. Bayern went ahead on 18 minutes when Kane clipped a pass&nbsp;into Michael Olise in the penalty box. The winger shaped to shoot but instead cut the ball back to Jamal Musiala to slot home the opener.Kiel might have feared the worst at that point but could have been level minutes later. Lewis Holtby pounced on a loose ball into the box and fired past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, but Bayern were indebted to Kim Min-jae who had raced back and hooked clear off the line.Bayern did have other chances with Olise hitting the post and Aleksander Pavlovic denied by a great save from goalkeeper Timon Weiner. Yet Kiel were undone again just before half-time after some patient build-up play that ended when Kingsley Coman clipping a ball in for Kane to head home from close rangeThe second half started with Kane scoring again to put the game out of sight. Once more the ball was sent into the box, this time by Raphaël Guerreiro, for Kane to nonchalantly head past Weiner. A fourth followed fairly promptly through Serge Gnabry, as the half-time substitute pulled the ball down with his left foot and then smashed home on the volley with his right. Yet Holstein Kiel did give their fans something to think about on the hour as they pulled one back. Timo Becker stole possession and freed Finn Porath who fired a brilliant effort across goal and past Neuer.And the visitors weren't finished there either. Two stoppage-time goals from Steven Skrzybski made for an extraordinary finish to the game and left Kompany scowling on the touchline despite his team's win.

TELL ME MORE

In his 50th Bundesliga appearance, Kane scored his 54th and 55th goals - no other player has managed to score as many goals in his first 50 league appearances in the German top flight.

DID YOU KNOW?

Holstein Kiel were putting up a decent fight against Bayern until two goals from Kane, either side of half-time, finished off the Bundesliga strugglers. The England star pounced with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane%3Dunstoppable-england-captain-marks-50th-appearance-bayern-munich-style-breaks-erling-haaland-record-against-holstein-kiel/blta47adfad9cbe94ae" target="_blank">two headers to mark his 50th Bundesliga appearance in some style</a>. Kane looked on course for another hat-trick too, until Kompany gave his star man a rest before the hour was even up.

THE MVP

Olise was replaced at half-time as a precaution after taking a knock in the first half. The winger did have some treatment on the pitch and was able to continue but the fact he didn't re-emerge suggests Bayern really didn't want to take any risks. Olise had already grabbed an assist for the opener, to take his tally to the season so far to 10, and Bayern will be hoping that he is not set for a spell on the sidelines.

THE BIG LOSER

Bayern are back in Bundesliga action on Friday against Werder Bremen before a Champions League play-off first leg at Celtic.
