Harry Kane marked a historic milestone by scoring his 500th career goal in Bayern Munich's 3-0 victory over Werder Bremen. The England captain's brace, including his 100th successful penalty, helped maintain Bayern's six-point lead in the Bundesliga. Kane achieved the feat with goals in the 22nd and 26th minutes, bringing his season tally to 26 league goals.

Kane's journey to 500 goals began in 2011 with Leyton Orient, progressing through Tottenham where he became their record scorer with 280 goals. Since joining Bayern in 2023, he has netted 126 goals for the German giants. The 32-year-old striker now has 41 goals in 35 games across all competitions this season, becoming the first player in Europe's top five leagues to reach 40 goals.

Leon Goretzka added Bayern's third goal in the 70th minute as the defending champions kept their title charge on track. The win puts Bayern in a strong position ahead of their upcoming clash with Borussia Dortmund, with a superior goal difference making them unlikely to be overtaken. Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was substituted at halftime as a precaution due to a minor calf issue.
