England captain Harry Kane is continuing to break records – now becoming the fastest-ever player to score 100 goals in the German Bundesliga.
Kane's penalty against Union Berlin on Friday night took him to treble figures in the country in 98 games – a staggering 31 games faster than the previous record holder.
German legend Dieter Muller took 129 matches to score 100 for FC Cologne, with his record coming in 1977.
He also recently became the fastest player in Bayern history to net 150 goals for the club, taking 153 games.
Only one player has reached 150 goals for one club quicker – Cristiano Ronaldo with Real Madrid. He took 149 games.
Kane has scored a goal every 78.5 minutes in the Bundesliga, which is a better rate than both Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski.

Kane would later score his 101st goal in a 7-0 win for his side.
He said upon achieving the feat: 'I'm very proud, scoring 101 Bundesliga goals in such a short time. I've loved every second of it. Playing with Michael (Olise), Lucho (Luis Dias), Jamal (Musiala), I know I'll get chances. Thank you to the team and the club. It's a great stat to have. Let's keep it going.'
The Three Lions skipper, who will next week join up with his country for the first international break since the World Cup, has been a revelation since moving to Germany from Tottenham in 2023.
He cost the Bundesliga giants £100million, and has been their anchorman ever since.
Now 33, many had wondered if he would ever return to England to try and break the record for the most Premier League goals. He is on 213 goals, with Alan Shearer leading the way on 260.
But that seems in doubt, with the forward admitting earlier this year that he is in 'no rush' to depart Bayern.
'No, not for me, I'm very happy,' he said before the World Cup. 'I made that clear to you guys. I'm really settled here. We have a fantastic team - one of the best, if not the best in the world at the moment.
'We have a top, top coach. I'm enjoying my time. The situation is calm.'
