Harry Kane Creates Bundesliga Record With Fourth Season Hat-Trick In Bayern's Victory

In a stunning display of football prowess, England captain Harry Kane has etched his name into Bundesliga history by becoming the first player to score four hat-tricks in a debut season. His remarkable achievement came during Bayern Munich's emphatic 8-1 victory over Mainz, where Kane found the back of the net three times, boosting his season tally to 30 league goals.
