Harry Kane showcased his prolific form by notching his 19th and 20th Bundesliga goals of the season in Bayern Munich’s convincing 3-0 triumph over Stuttgart on Sunday. Kane’s achievement places him in elite company, joining Robert Lewandowski and Gerd Muller as the only players in the league’s history to reach the 20-goal milestone before the Hinrunde.
The scoring spectacle commenced within the first two minutes, as Kane capitalized on a defensive blunder from Stuttgart. Leroy Sane seized the opportunity, venturing into the penalty area and delivering a precise pass to Kane, who calmly slotted the ball into the open net.
In the 25th minute, Bayern appeared to double their lead through a powerful header from Kim Min-jae, connecting with an exquisite set-piece delivery from Aleksandar Pavlovic. However, a VAR check disallowed the goal, determining that Kim was in an offside position when he scored.

Despite the setback, Bayern continued to press, with Leroy Sane forcing Stuttgart’s goalkeeper, Alexander Nubel, into a remarkable save from outside the box in a swift counter-attack.
VAR intervention struck again at the stroke of halftime, nullifying a Thomas Muller strike as the veteran was ruled offside before making contact with the ball.
The second half saw Bayern solidify their lead. Kim Min-jae redirected another Pavlovic set piece to Kane, who calmly nodded in his 20th goal of the season.
The dynamic Pavlovic and Kim collaboration struck once more from a set piece, resulting in Bayern’s third goal. Kim’s header, deflected off a Stuttgart player, found the back of the net, securing a comprehensive 3-0 victory for Bayern Munich.
