Harry Kane becomes fastest to 100 Bundesliga goals in Bayern’s 7-0 demolition of Union Berlin
The England captain needed just 98 appearances to reach the century mark, shattering a record that had stood for decades.
Harry Kane has a thing for milestones, and he just obliterated another one. The Bayern Munich striker scored his 100th and 101st Bundesliga goals during a comprehensive 7-0 victory over Union Berlin on September 18, 2026, reaching the century in just 98 league appearances. That makes him the fastest player in the history of Germany’s top flight to hit triple digits.
The previous record belonged to Dieter Müller, who needed 129 games. Kane got there 31 games quicker.
A penalty, a second, and a statement
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 bag a hat-trick of his own in the rout. The 7-0 scoreline came on Matchday 4 of the 2026/27 season.
The numbers behind the absurdity
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 even the benchmarks set by Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski during their own devastating Bundesliga tenures.

Across his first three seasons in Germany, Kane’s league tallies read 36, 26, and 35. Zoom out to all competitions and Kane now has 152 goals in 154 appearances for Bayern Munich. 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’s nearly man to Bayern’s record-breaker
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 three-plus seasons in Germany, combined with the record-breaking milestones, has strengthened his candidacy for the Ballon d’Or.
