Bundesliga: It was a great night for Harry Kane

-

 Bayern Munich 3 - 1 FC Augsburg

It was a memorable first home Bundesliga match for Harry Kane,

The England captain scored twice for Bayern in their Bundesliga opener at home. This victory helped the rivals maintain their winning streak at the start of the league season.

Watch the highlights from the match in the video below. 

Kane had the honour of being the first English player to register goals in his first two Bundesliga games. The big move was made when he expertly dealt with a penalty midway through just before the half-time break.

The former Tottenham forward used the back of his foot to seal the win for the team with a fine finish, setting up a 3-1 win after the break as Thomas Tuchel-led Bayern Munich went on to win on the snow.

After a bright start, Bayern Munich found their rhythm and cashed in when Leroy Sane's shot hit the post and deflected past goalkeeper Felix Uduokhai into the net.

Niklas Dorsch was later penalized by referee Sascha Stegemann for handball. The decision was made after a video review by the assistant referee, which saw Kane accurately overturn the penalty.

Bayern Munich declared more enthusiasm in the second half. Sane’s skilful shot missed the mark as it hit the post. Alfonso Davies later set up Kane, who was sidelined and unmarked, allowing him to calmly guide the ball into the net.

In the final moments of the match, substitute Dion Beljo managed to evade defenders and score a consolation goal for the opposing team. Kane, meanwhile, missed a chance to complete the hat-trick when his header went wide of goal.

But Kane's scoring streak has continued, stretching to the last seven league games, a record that goes back to his time in the Premier League.

What did you think?

Despite taking place on a busy day of Premier League action, thousands of people watched the match on TV across the United Kingdom. Ben Matthews was one of these people, the Arsenal fan said: "I am an arsenal fan, but I wish Kane all the best in Germany. I will also be following the Bundesliga very closely this season to check on his progress. This could also prove to be beneficial to England ahead of Euro 2024."

Gary also watched the match, he added: "Kane is becoming as popular in Germany as Keegan was with HSV. He's a fantastic ambassador for English football. The media and fans in Germany already love him. The very best of luck to him, I will miss watching him the Premier League."

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)
