Five-star Bayern crush promoted Hamburg with Kane double

MUNICH, Germany - Bundesliga top scorer Harry Kane scored twice as champions Bayern Munich dismantled promoted former European champions Hamburg SV 5-0 in the Bundesliga on Saturday, to make it three wins from three league games this season.

The Bavarians, who host Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday, needed just 29 minutes to put the game to bed scoring four times, as they celebrated their latest goal bonanza in a home game against Hamburg, who have now conceded 55 goals in their last nine trips to the Bavarian capital.

Bayern are in top spot on nine points, two ahead of second-placed Borussia Dortmund, winners 2-0 at Heidenheim.

Hamburg, back in the Bundesliga after a seven-season spell in the second division, had planned to put up a fight but their hopes were crushed after three minutes when Serge Gnabry drilled in from a tight angle to put the hosts in front.

Aleksandar Pavlovic doubled their lead six minutes later before a 26th-minute Kane penalty made it 3-0. Luis Diaz then also got on the scoresheet with a deflected effort another three minutes later.

Bayern took their foot off the gas after the break but they still scored again, with Kane bagging his fifth league goal just after the hour mark before Michael Olise hit the woodwork late in the game. REUTERS
