Harry Kane's first season with Bayern Munich hasn't gone according to plan.

The Bavarian giants are in danger of going trophyless for the first time since the 2011-12 season following a string of poor results.

Kane is trying his hardest to prevent that from happening, with the Englishman breaking Erling Haaland's Bundesliga scoring record in the loss to VfL Bochum.

The Bayern Munich forward became the quickest player in the German top flight to reach 25 goals. He needed only 22 games to reach that milestone, beating the previous record held by Erling Haaland.
