Kane breaks 60-year record and Musiala dazzles in Bayern romp
On Saturday, Bayern Munich defeated Darmstadt 5-2 thanks to goals from Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane, who passed a 60-year record for the most goals in his first season. Since joining from Spurs in the summer, Kane has scored 31 goals in 26 league games, breaking German great Uwe Seeler's record of 30 goals for Hamburg in 1963–64. With the victory, which keeps Bayern's slender chances of retaining the Bundesliga title alive, Musiala also contributed an assist. Bayern now trail Bayer Leverkusen by seven points heading into their Sunday match at Freiburg. After 28 minutes, Darmstadt startled Bayern, with Tim Skarke scoring and giving the home team hope of pulling off an incredible upset against the German champions by taking advantage of some poor defence from Eric Dier. But before halftime, Kane would give Bayern the lead, setting up a goal for Musiala in the 36th minute and then adding a goal of his own by rising high to head in a Joshua Kimmich chip in first-half stoppage time. Half through the second half, Musiala added another, dancing through the area after receiving a throw-in from Thomas Mueller and firing between the goalkeeper's legs. Serge Gnabry sealed the victory with a goal shortly after entering the game, much like he did the previous week. Oscar Vilhelmsson of Darmstadt and Mathys Tel of Bayern both scored in stoppage time. US midfielder Brenden Aaronson's dominant effort helped Union Berlin, who have an outstanding home record, defeat Werder Bremen 2-1 in the German capital. Unexpectedly left out of the US team this week, Aaronson contributed to two goals in the second half to give Union the advantage. After setting up Yorbe Vertessen's goal in the 50th minute, the 23-year-old scored a goal of his own with some incredible dribbling shortly after.
