Bundesliga top scorer Harry Kane struck once in each half to steer Bayern Munich to a 3-0 victory over fourth-placed VfB Stuttgart on Sunday and leave them four points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen with a game in hand.
The England captain, the league’s all-time record signing after his €100 million ($ 108.94 million) move from Tottenham Hotspur this season, has scored 20 times in his 14 league games.
Kane is only the third player in the league’s history to reach that mark by or before the halfway stage and required also the fewest-ever Bundesliga appearances to score 20 times.
Bayern have netted in a league record-equalling 64th straight Bundesliga home game, matching their 1970-74 run.
PSG stumble
Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint Germain threw away two points as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Lille when substitute Jonathan David headed a last-minute equaliser after the visitors had taken the lead through a Kylian Mbappe penalty on Sunday.
PSG were caught with a sucker punch when substitute Marco Asensio’s sloppy pass was intercepted and although Adam Ounas’s deflected shot was well saved by Arnau Tenas, David followed up to nod the ball into the net on the rebound.
Inter extend lead
Inter Milan extended their lead at the top of Serie A to four points after goals by forwards Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram gave them a 2-0 win at Lazio on Sunday. Inter top the standings on 41 points.
