3) Stuttgart (Bundesliga) - home

In this one - Bayern were hosting a side that had finished above them last season, yet showed here that there is a big gap between the two sides. 

Around twelve minutes into the second half, a superb low driven shot by Kane had given Bayern the lead. Three minutes later, at the third bite of the cherry, he was able to poke the ball home to get his second goal of the game.’ 

Then, with ten minutes remaining, the England skipper got his and Bayern’s third goal of the game, after a rebound fell his way inside the box, tucking the ball home with his left foot. With around a minute to go, Kingsley Coman made it 4-0 with a curling effort. 

The goals don’t fully tell the story, however. On another day, Kane genuinely may have scored seven goals. He had so many opportunities that he would usually take. Still, his overall performance and three goals made it a great day for him nonetheless.
