Harry Kane sets latest record, brushes off injury scare

Harry Kane's first-half strike during Bayern Munich's 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday saw him became the first player in history to score 11 goals in the first six games of a Bundesliga season.

Kane, 32, achieved the record with a powerful low drive past Frankfurt goalkeeper Kauã Santos from the edge of the area in the 27th minute.

The England captain's goal arrived in between two from summer recruit Luis Díaz -- the first of which came after just 15 seconds -- as Bayern's imperious form continued at Deutsche Bank Park.

Kane has been virtually unstoppable since swapping Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern and he brought up his century for the German side in his previous Bundesliga outing against Werder Bremen.

In taking just 104 games to do so, Kane became the fastest player this century to reach 100 goals for a club playing in one of Europe's top five leagues, beating the previous record holders Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland (105).

But it was not all good news for the striker as he was later taken off following treatment on his ankle.

With 10 minutes remaining in the contest, Kane took a tumble after colliding with Santos as he latched onto a ball into the penalty area, but had been flagged offside.

Kane initially looked in some discomfort, needing treatment and ice on his right ankle, before being helped back to his feet, taking a slow jog and was able to play on again.

Despite being taken off minutes later, Kane was soon jumping with his teammates in celebrations in front of the Bayern away fans, despite wearing what seemed to be an ice pack on his right foot.

And he reassured England fans he'll be with the team on Monday for upcoming games against Wales and Latvia.

"No, I'll be there Monday," Kane told broadcaster Sky when asked if the injury might affect his England duties.

"I'm OK. Just contact on the bone," he said. "I had it a few weeks ago in one of the games and it's just been recovering and I got a hit right on the same spot. A few days and it should be fine."
