Harry Kane’s Hat-Trick Propels Bayern Munich Back to the Bundesliga Summit

A stunning second-half hat-trick from Harry Kane lifted Bayern Munich to a commanding 4-0 victory over Stuttgart on Saturday, reclaiming their position at the top of the Bundesliga ahead of RB Leipzig.

Earlier in the day, Leipzig’s 2-0 win over Mainz temporarily pushed them above Bayern in the standings. With Kane coming into the match on a four-game goal drought for both and —his longest since arriving in Germany—Bayern needed a standout performance to regain momentum.

Stuttgart, who finished one spot ahead of Bayern in second place last , put up a strong defensive effort in the half, holding the hosts at bay. However, Bayern’s pressure eventually paid off in the 57th minute when Kane struck from distance, with his shot sneaking past Stuttgart’s goalkeeper, Alexander Nuebel, to open the scoring.

Kane didn’t take long to find the net again. Just minutes after his first, he expertly maneuvered the ball through a crowded penalty area and slotted it past Nuebel, giving Bayern a comfortable 2-0 lead. The England captain sealed his hat-trick in the 80th minute, reacting quickly to a loose ball to score his third goal. This marked his sixth hat-trick for Bayern and his 57th goal in all competitions for the club.

France’s Kingsley Coman rounded off the emphatic win with a final-minute goal, ensuring Bayern’s return to the Bundesliga summit.

Leipzig’s victory over Mainz was powered by goals from Xavi Simons and captain Willi Orban, as they prepared for their upcoming Champions League match against Liverpool. The battle for the top spot in the Bundesliga remains tight, with both Bayern and Leipzig showing their strength early in the season.

Kane’s performance will be a relief for Bayern fans and a clear reminder of his importance to the team as they continue their domestic and European campaigns. With the England striker back on form, Bayern looks poised to maintain their momentum as they seek to defend their title.
