Bayern took a comprehensive 4-0 first-half lead against Holstein Kiel courtesy of a brace from Kane and an early strike from Jamal Musiala, which was set up by the English striker. That makes him the fastest player in Bundesliga history to reach 50 goal contributions surpassing Haaland's tally. While the former Spurs star achieved the feat in 35 league appearances, Haaland reached the milestone in 43 matches for Borussia Dortmund. Bayern went on to win 6-1 with Kane netting a late penalty.
