Harry Kane scored his 100th and 101st Bundesliga goals on September 18, 2026, powering Bayern Munich to a 7-0 victory over Union Berlin and becoming the fastest player to reach a century of goals in the history of Germany's top flight. The Bayern Munich striker needed just 98 league appearances to hit triple digits, with the milestone arriving while the 2026/27 campaign is still only four matchdays old.
The previous record belonged to Dieter Müller, who required 129 matches. Kane reached the mark 31 games quicker, and with 101 league goals now standing after 98 appearances, his Bundesliga career has run at better than a goal per game.
Penalty Opener and Second-Half Strike
Kane's landmark goal came from the penalty spot in the 39th minute after teammate Michael Olise was fouled in the box. He added his 101st in the second half. Olise, who drew the foul for Kane's penalty, went on to score a hat-trick of his own in the rout, which came on Matchday 4 of the 2026/27 season.
Record Scoring Pace
Kane's Bundesliga scoring rate since arriving from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023 has been relentless. He has averaged a goal every 78.5 minutes in the league, a pace that outstrips the benchmarks set by Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski during their own Bundesliga tenures.
Across his first three seasons in Germany, Kane's league tallies read 36, 26, and 35 goals. Across all competitions, he now has 152 goals in 154 appearances for Bayern Munich, a return of nearly a goal per game in a Bayern shirt.
He had already set another record in September 2025, when he became the fastest player to score 100 goals for any club in a top-five European league this century, reaching that mark in 104 appearances across all competitions.
From Tottenham to Record-Breaker in Munich
When Kane left Tottenham in 2023, the closest he had come to major silverware was a Champions League final defeat in 2019. The move to Munich coincided with back-to-back Bundesliga title wins, giving Kane the domestic honors that eluded him in north London.
At 33, Kane's sustained output across more than three seasons in Germany, combined with his record-breaking milestones, has strengthened his candidacy for the Ballon d'Or.
