According to Sky Sports, Kingsley Coman and Leon Goretzka were also on target for Bayern Munich as the Bundesliga champions move to within two points of leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

Kane has now entered the history books at Bayern, becoming the fastest player to score nine goals in the Bundesliga after just eight league appearances following his strike against Mainz.

Only Gert Dorfel (7 games), Paco Alcacer (7) and Erling Haaland (6) are ahead of Kane in terms of the fastest players to score eight goals in the Bundesliga.

Kane will next travel with the rest of the Bayern Munich squad to Galatasaray as they face the Turkish giants in the group stages of the Champions League on Tuesday.

The England forward has been involved in nine goals in his last five games for the Bavarians, netting five goals and contributing three assists in a superb start to the season for Thomas Tuchel’s side.

Kane has had no problem adapting to the Bundesliga this season as the 30-year-old forward has become a key member of the Bayern Munich squad since his switch from Tottenham this summer.

Kane's double on the night propelled him past Sir Bobby Charlton, making him the all-time leading goal scorer for the England men's team at Wembley, with an impressive total of 24 goals at the national stadium.
