Harry Kane equals 16-year Bayern Munich record that Robert Lewandowski never could in Monchengladbach win

Harry Kane equalled a Bayern Munich record during his side's 3-1 Bundesliga win over Borussia Monchengladbach.

Kane scored his 24th league goal of the campaign in the victory, with Thomas Tuchel's side having to come from behind at the Allianz Arena.

After visiting goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas failed to punch clear a Raphael Guerreiro cross, Kane was on hand to head the ball into the empty net.

In doing so, he equalled a Bayern record that has stood for an incredible 17 years.

No Bayern player has scored more goals in their debut for the club than Italy icon Luca Toni, who netted on 24 occasions during the 2007/08 season following his move from Fiorentina.

Remarkably, at the beginning of February, Kane has already equalled that tally, and is now seven goals ahead at the front of the race for this season's Golden Boot.

Tuchel's side still have 14 games to play, so the England international is a certainty to break that record should he not get injured.

It is a record that even Robert Lewandowski couldn't reach as, despite once scoring 41 goals in a Bundesliga season, he only netted on 17 occasions during his debut campaign after signing from Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer in 2014.

But the Polish striker only went one season where he scored fewer than 24 goals before leaving to join Barcelona in the summer of 2022.

Kane will now surely have one eye on beating Lewandowski's record of 41 league goals in a single season - although helping Bayern to overhaul league leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who are two points clear, will be the bigger priority.

He told The Guardian earlier this week: "To be compared with them names [Lewandowski and legendary Bayern striker Gerd Muller] is a great thing, especially in the first season, so it means I'm doing something right."

The 'something right' part of that comment is perhaps an understatement, with Kane taking German football by storm this season.
