Record-breaking Kane on target again as Bayern stretch winning run

FRANKFURT, Germany :Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane set a Bundesliga scoring record and Luis Diaz netted twice as the leaders cruised past hosts Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 on Saturday to continue a flawless start to the season with their sixth consecutive league win.

Kane, who also hit the woodwork from point-blank range in the second half, rifled in his 11th league goal in the 27th minute and become the first Bundesliga player to reach that mark after six matches. He has now scored 18 goals in 10 matches across all competitions this season.

Bayern, who also set a Bundesliga scoring record with 25 goals from the first six league games, have won all 10 competitive matches this term, a club record since their promotion to the Bundesliga in 1965.

It was also Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's 362nd league win, equalling the Bundesliga record held by former teammate Thomas Mueller.

The Bavarians, top on 18 points, have a four-point lead over their next opponents, second-placed Borussia Dortmund, who drew 1-1 at home to RB Leipzig earlier on Saturday. Frankfurt are sixth on nine points.

"Great performance. I thought in the first half we did well to be two goals up," England captain Kane said. "In the second half we were better and could have scored a couple more.

"We have momentum on our side right now and we need to hold onto that. Now we're travelling to the national teams and then we have a massive game at home against Dortmund."

Fresh from a 5-1 demolition of Pafos in the Champions League on Tuesday, Bayern shot out of the blocks and needed just 15 seconds to take the lead with Colombia international Diaz's tap-in at the far post and Frankfurt caught napping.

Both teams then had the ball in the net in a rollercoaster start to the
