Eleven games into the Bundesliga season, and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is already off to a record-breaking start. In Bayern's 4-2 win over Heidenheim Saturday, Kane scored two goals. His two scores brought his season total to a record 17, the most through 11 games in Bundesliga history, via Opta Franz.
This passed former Bayern Munich legend Robert Lewandowski's record of 16 goals through 11 games that was set in the 2019-2020 season. The two other Bundesliga players to score 14+ goals in 11 games include Gerd Müller and Erich Beer, who did so in the 1960s and 1970s.
In just 11 games, Kane has already surpassed the total goals scored by the Bundesliga's most recent Golden Boot winners, Niclas Füllkrug and Christopher Nkunku, who both finished the 2022 season with 16. With 23 more games left in the season, Kane has passed this mark.
