Harry Kane broke the record for the fastest player to reach 100 Bundesliga goals as his double helped Bayern Munich thrash Union Berlin.

A stunning hat-trick from Michael Olise, along with impressive goals from Jamal Musiala and Ismael Saibari, sealed the seven-goal rout as the defending German champions maintained their unbeaten start to the season.

England captain Kane stepped up to score a 39th-minute penalty after Olise was taken down by Tom Rothe in the area, the 33-year-old powering the spot-kick into the corner for his century landmark.

The former Tottenham forward reached the tally in Germany's top tier in 98 games - fewer than any other player in the league's history.

Kane added his second of the night - and 101st Bundesliga goal - when he headed in Olise's superb cross in the 54th minute.

That took his tally to 152 goals in 154 appearances in all competitions since he moved to Bayern in 2023.

Musiala put Bayern - who were wearing special kits to mark Oktoberfest - in front in the 18th minute with a stunning strike from 20 yards after good work from Alphonso Davies down the left.

After Kane's penalty, Olise wrapped his left boot around the ball on the edge of the area and found the net two minutes before the half-time interval.

Saibari made it five, with the summer signing from PSV providing a fine finish in the 70th minute for his first Bayern goal.

Frenchman Olise completed his hat-trick with two goals in three minutes as he first rounded Union Berlin goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow to find the net off the post, before the former Crystal Palace winger struck the goal of the night with another left-footed effort from distance.

• Kane's startling numbers

The impressive nature of Kane's speed to 100 Bundesliga goals is shown by the fact the previous record holder needed 31 more appearances to reach the tally.

Dieter Muller's century came in 129 games for Cologne, which is almost the difference of an entire league season.

Bayern legend Gerd Muller is next on the list at 136 games, while ex-Borussia Dortmund forward Lothar Emmerich needed 140 and Uwe Seeler took 157 at Hamburg.

Kane now has seven goals in as many games against Union Berlin, with Stuttgart his favourite opponent with 10 in seven against them.

The England striker scored a remarkable 61 goals in 51 games last season in all competitions for Vincent Kompany's men and has struck six in seven so far this term, highlighting just why he is a major contender for the Ballon d'Or award when it is announced in London on 26 October.

"I'm very proud to reach 101 Bundesliga goals," Kane told Sky Germany.

"In the short time I've been here, I've loved every second of it. When I'm playing with these players I'm going to get chances.

"To have more goals than games is obviously a great stat to have."

The 200-mark in all competitions is definitely in his sights this term if he reaches the highs of previous campaigns.

Kane's contract is up at the end of this season but, if he signs a new deal, he could be chasing double figures in the Bundesliga.

"I'm extremely happy here," he added. "The talks are ongoing and they'll be ongoing for the near future. You can see the way I'm playing and the way I connect with the fans."
