Harry Kane scores as Bayern Munich seal a record-extending 35th Bundesliga crown with a commanding 4-2 home victory over Stuttgart
HARRY Kane was on the scoresheet as Bayern Munich secured a record-extending 35th Bundesliga title with a 4-2 home victory over Stuttgart.
The win, coupled with Borussia Dortmund’s defeat a day earlier, sealed the championship with four games to spare.
Bayern fell behind to a Chris Fuehrich strike after 21 minutes but responded with three goals in a devastating seven-minute spell before halftime.
Raphael Guerreiro equalised before Nicolas Jackson and Alphonso Davies scored to put the hosts in complete control.
Kane then netted his 32nd league goal of the campaign early in the second half to put the result beyond doubt.
Chema Andres added a late consolation for Stuttgart but Bayern played out the final moments in celebration mode.
Coach Vincent Kompany had rested several key starters, including Kane and Manuel Neuer, ahead of a German Cup semi-final.
The title underscores Bayern’s modern dominance, marking their 13th championship in the past 14 seasons.
The Bavarian giants have now scored 109 league goals, a new Bundesliga record, with four matches still to play.
Kane, who has 50 goals in all competitions, remains within sight of Robert Lewandowski’s single-season record of 41 Bundesliga goals.
In Sunday’s other matches, Freiburg beat Heidenheim 2-1 to climb to seventh, while Mainz snatched a 1-1 draw at Borussia Moenchengladbach with a last-gasp penalty.
