A closer look at Harry Kane’s Champions League scoring spree

Harry Kane scored his second hat-trick in four days as he and Bayern Munich rewrote the Champions League record books in a 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb.

It was the most goals a team have scored in a single Champions League game while Kane became the competition’s top-scoring Englishman – here, we look at a historic night.

Wayne Rooney had been England’s leading goalscorer in the Champions League – including its predecessor the European Cup – with 30 goals in the main draw.

Kane went into the new season just one goal behind and the England captain, who last year broke his predecessor’s scoring record for the national team, needed just 19 minutes of his first outing in the new-look league stage to draw level with Rooney thanks to a penalty.

He was not finished there, scoring Bayern’s fourth goal in the 57th minute to settle their nerves – after two quickfire Dinamo goals had cut the deficit to 3-2 – and move past Rooney.

Two more penalties gave Kane four goals in the match and extended his new record to 33 in just 45 games, putting him in the top 25 of all European Cup goalscorers.

Not a bad night in the champions league! One to remember and another ball to take home! Let’s keep it going boys!!
