Two goals for Harry Kane as Bayern Munich beat Union Berlin. Frankfurt receives 7 points

MUNICH (AP) — Harry Kane scored two goals and assisted another, marking FC Bayern Munich's winning streak in the 2011-2020 season Bundesliga It continued on Saturday with a 3-0 win over Union Berlin.

Bayern lead the Bundesliga and have won their last four games against German opponents in the league and cup without conceding a goal. The situation is different in Europe, where Bayern suffered two defeats in the Champions League – most recently one 1:4 defeat at Barcelona – ahead of the hosts against Benfica on Wednesday.

Kane gave Bayern the lead with a goal from the penalty spot after Michael Olise was fouled and passed to Kingsley Coman, who scored the second just before half-time.

Kane beat his own teammate Jamal Musiala to the ball and scored Bayern's third goal when Coman's header landed both in space at the far post.

Kane has now scored 17 goals in all competitions this season. His Bundesliga tally of 11 is more than three teams in the league, including Union.

Eintracht Frankfurt beat Bochum 7-2 to move into third place behind Bayern and Leipzig with two goals from Hugo Ekitike and one from 18-year-old attacking midfielder Can Uzun, who scored seconds after coming on as a substitute. Bochum is last with one point from the first nine games and 29 goals conceded.

Both promoted teams won as Holstein Kiel secured their first ever Bundesliga win with a 1-0 win over Heidenheim and St. Pauli beat Hoffenheim 2-0. Mohamed Amoura's goal in the 82nd minute saved Wolfsburg from a 1-1 draw against Augsburg.

Borussia Dortmund coach Nuri Sahin will be there later on Saturday under pressure after a series of defeats when his team hosts Leipzig.
