Harry Kane scored twice to reach 45 goals for the season as Bayern Munich secured a 3-2 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt at Allianz Arena. The England captain headed home from close range in the 20th minute after a Josip Stanisic corner, extending his tally to 45. Bayern quickly took control, with Aleksandar Pavlovic opening the scoring in the 16th minute.

Frankfurt pulled one back through Jonathan Burkardt's penalty in the 77th minute, and Arnaud Kalimuendo added a second for the visitors in the 86th minute. Kane completed his brace in the 68th minute with a low strike from outside the area, though a subsequent penalty for Burkardt was saved. Bayern's win, their third straight, consolidates their position at the top of the Bundesliga table with 60 points.

The result marks Kane's 501st career goal for club and country after a commemorative presentation before kick-off.
