Harry Kane has set his sights on breaking Robert Lewandowski's Bundesliga record of 41 goals in a season after scoring twice in Bayern Munich's 3-2 Klassiker victory over Borussia Dortmund. The England captain's brace took his league tally to 30 goals from 24 games, putting him on pace to challenge the mark set during the 2020-21 season.

Kane's performance included another penalty kick, tying Paul Breitner's Bundesliga record of 10 successful spot kicks from 1980-81. The 32-year-old has been in sensational form, scoring 45 goals across all competitions this season in just 37 appearances for Bayern. His latest brace marked the fourth consecutive game with multiple goals.

The prolific striker recently celebrated his 500th career goal for club and country. Kane acknowledged the challenge ahead, noting he needs to maintain consistency over the final 10 games. At this stage of Lewandowski's record-breaking campaign, the Polish striker had 31 goals from 24 games - just one more than Kane's current total.
