Bayern Munich won 6-1 away to Holstein Kiel on Saturday.
Bayern took the lead after 14 seconds as Jamal Musiala shot the ball into the net. Only six passes were made during the game, indicating that Holstein Kiel may have a long night.
And it was. Harry Kane, who assisted the opener, extended the advantage after a defensive error, and Musiala forced an own goal from Nicolai Remberg after 13 minutes to make it 3-0.
Kane scored a brace right before halftime with a strike from outside the area, and the game was effectively over. He has now scored more than 50 goals in 35 Bundesliga appearances, shattering Erling Haaland's previous mark.
The hosts remarkably limited the attack in the second half, which might be attributed in large part to Musiala's removal. Bayern eventually added a fifth goal, with substitute Michel Olise scoring his first for the club off the bench.
Holstein Kiel, on the other hand, brought back memories of that legendary DFB Pokal upset by shattering Bayern's clean sheet ambitions. Armin Gigović scored a powerful header past Manuel Neuer, while another chance missed the crossbar.
50 - Harry Kane was directly involved in 50 Bundesliga goals in 35 games; no other player has reached that milestone as quickly since data gathering (2004-05) (Erling Haaland earlier in 44 games). HurryKane.
A late penalty from VAR allowed Kane to complete his first hat-trick of the season and send Bayern to the top spot after RB Leipzig drew earlier in the day. Holstein Kiel, meanwhile, is at the bottom of the standings.
