Harry Kane continued his remarkable scoring run and helped Bayern Munich secure a 3-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, extending their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table.
Kane scores again but suffers late injury scare
Luis Díaz scored two goals—including one after just 15 seconds—and Kane found the net for the sixth consecutive Bayern game. However, the England captain suffered an injury scare in the 81st minute when he collided with goalkeeper Kauã Santos.
Kane received treatment on his foot and limped off the field but was moving more freely when substituted in the 85th minute. He said the issue was "contact on the bone" that would be fine in a few days and wouldn't affect his England duties next week.
"Winning games just breeds a big energy and we need to hold onto that," Kane told broadcaster Sky. "We have a massive game at home when we get back against Dortmund on Oct. 18, but the feeling we have amongst ourselves is just to keep pushing."
Kane made it 18 goals in 10 games for Bayern this season with a fierce low shot from outside the penalty area. He has scored in Bayern's last six games in all competitions, racking up 12 goals in that span.
Díaz added a third goal in the 84th minute, outpacing the Frankfurt defense. It was Bayern's 10th win in all competitions to start the season. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer recorded his 362nd Bundesliga win, equaling the all-time record of his former teammate Thomas Müller.
Dortmund and Leipzig draw opens door for Bayern
A 1-1 draw between Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig—Bayern's closest domestic rivals—opened the way for Bayern to stretch their lead to four points at the top of the table.
Dortmund's Yan Couto's deflected shot canceled out Christoph Baumgartner's opener for Leipzig. Dortmund's unbeaten run stretched to nine games in all competitions, but the draw meant they lost ground in the title race.
