The 30-year-old England Captain scored his first goal for Bayern Munich to help the Germany giants Beat Werder Bremen on his league debut by grabbing a goal and assist in a comfortable 4-0 win.
Harry Kane rifled a shot from inside the penalty area into the bottom left-hand corner after team-mate Alphonso Davies sparked a lethal counter attack down the left flank. He had taken just five minutes to register an assist earlier in the match, superbly setting up Leroy Sane’s opener. He sent the former Manchester City forward through on goal before dispatching a shot across the goal into the bottom corner.
Fortunately for the £104million signing, it appeared to be nothing more than cramp. Then, in the 74th minute – shortly before he was subbed off – Kane did what he does best by dispatching a simple chance to wrap up the three points on opening night for Bayern, who added two more goals through Sane and Kane’s replacement, Mathys Tel. Manager Thomas Tuchel was delighted with his new No.9, who he hopes can power the Bavarians to a 12th straight league title and a Champions League triumph come May.
“I don’t think it is going to be the first time in his career (he has been under pressure),” Tuchel told a press conference ahead of the Werder clash. “So that is why he will learn to transfer the pressure into performance and stay relaxed.
