Harry Kane Double Takes Bayern Munich Past Union Berlin, Borussia Dortmund Beat Leipzig

Harry Kane scored twice and set up another as Bayern Munich moved three points clear at the top of the German Bundesliga with a 3-0 home win over Union Berlin on Saturday. The England captain put Bayern ahead from the spot on 15 minutes after Union's Benedict Hollerbach brought down Michael Olise on the edge of the box. Kane turned provider just before half-time, tapping the ball into Kingsley Coman's path, the France forward blasting in over Union goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow. 

Kane added another after 51 minutes, eagerly getting to a loose ball inches ahead of teammate Jamal Musiala to complete his brace.

Despite two consecutive Champions League losses at Aston Villa and Barcelona, Bayern have now scored 16 without conceding in their past four games against German opposition. 

"We've not started the Champions League well, so the pressure is on in every Champions League game now," Kane said. 

"I think if we use the confidence that we've played the last few games with, we can cause any team a lot of problems."

"There's still a long way to go, but we've got the right mentality and the right attitude," Kane told Sky.

"If we keep going like this, everything will be OK -- we're in good shape." 

Having needed a win to avoid relegation on the final match day last season, Union now sit sixth and captain Christopher Trimmel told Sky "we can live with it -- Bayern were the favourites and have unbelievable quality."

Frankfurt hit seven

Borussia Dortmund carved out a 2-1 home victory over RB Leipzig to relieve the pressure on under-fire coach Nuri Sahin.

Dortmund came into the game with four losses in their past five games, including Tuesday's German Cup elimination by Wolfsburg -- their earliest exit in 15 years.
