Harry Kane broke Wayne Rooney’s record for most Champions League goals by an English player when he scored a poker goal for Bayern Munich against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday.
It was one of many records as Bayern beat Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 in one of the highest-scoring games in Champions League history and a perfect start for new coach Vincent Kompany.
“It was an unbelievable game, a great night scoring all those goals,” Kane said.
The striker scored in the 19th, 53rd, 73rd and 78th minutes to take his tally in the competition to 33 – three of which were penalties – and surpassed Rooney’s record of 30 goals.
Four other Bayern players scored in the stunning win, including two from newcomer Michael Olise, who made his Champions League debut after joining from Crystal Palace.
Kane has scored 12 Champions League goals since joining Bayern a year ago. He has now scored 53 goals in 50 games in all competitions since joining Bayern.
He has scored nine goals in his last three games for club and country.
