Harry Kane continued with his impressive form in the Bundesliga after scoring a hat-trick in his first Der Klassiker featuring Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern headed into the match looking for a reaction following their embarrassing defeat in the DFB Cup to Saarbrücken in midweek.

They got off to a perfect start, going ahead after just four minutes following a Dayot Upamecano goal from Leroy Sane's corner.

Five minutes later, Kane scored his first of the night through another Sane pass. Dortmund tried to mount a comeback, but Kane ended those hopes late in the second half.

He bagged his third in the 72nd minute before completing a hat-trick in injury time.

Kane makes Bundesliga history

The England captain is enjoying his first season in Germany. After 10 games, he now has 15 goals, a Bundesliga record. No player had scored that much after their first 10 Bundesliga games.

Bayern have now won nine out of their last 10 Bundesliga encounters against their bitter rivals. The 30-year-old scored a hat-trick in Bayern's last league match.

Kane is now the leading goalscorer ahead of Stuttgart's Serhou Guirassy, who has 14 goals. The Englishman has five assists, meaning he has been involved in 20 of Bayern's 38 goals this season.

The German champions have 26 points from 10 matches, two behind leaders Leverkusen.
