Hat-Trick Harry Strikes Again as Bayern Crush Hoffenheim
Harry Kane is unstoppable right now. The England striker grabbed his second hat-trick of the season as Bayern Munich battled past Hoffenheim to keep their flawless Bundesliga run alive.
Hoffenheim strike first blows
The hosts came out sharp and gave Bayern problems in the opening half. Manuel Neuer’s mistake nearly gifted Fisnik Asllani the opener, but the striker hit the post. Hoffenheim kept pressing and looked the more dangerous side for much of the first 45 minutes.
Kane steps up before the break
Just when Bayern needed a spark, Kane delivered. Right on half-time, he finished a clever low corner with a crisp first-time shot to silence the home crowd. That goal flipped the momentum instantly.
Spot-kicks seal the deal
In the second half, Hoffenheim’s resistance broke down. Albian Hajdari was punished for handball, and Kane coolly converted from the spot for his second of the night. Moments later, substitute Michael Olise was fouled in the box, and after a VAR check, Bayern had another penalty. Kane stepped up again and made no mistake, sending Oliver Baumann the wrong way to complete his ninth Bundesliga hat-trick.
It was Kane’s 13th goal in just seven matches across all competitions—a breathtaking start to life in Germany.
Hoffenheim fight back, but Bayern ruthless
Hoffenheim did get on the scoresheet when Vladimir Coufal’s deflected free-kick beat Neuer to give the Czech defender his first Bundesliga goal. For a brief moment, the hosts had hope.
But Bayern weren’t done. Serge Gnabry, who came on late, finished the job deep into stoppage time. After Joshua Kimmich’s shot was saved, Gnabry reacted quickest and fired home from a tight angle to make it 4–1.
Quiet debut for Jackson
There was also a first Bundesliga start for Nicolas Jackson after arriving on loan from Chelsea. The Senegal striker struggled to make an impact and was subbed off after an hour.
What it means
Bayern are still perfect, still scoring for fun, and Kane is already looking like the final piece of the puzzle. With 13 goals in seven matches, he has instantly become the star of the show. For Hoffenheim, it was a brave start but clinical finishing from Bayern proved the difference.Final verdict: Hoffenheim punched hard early, but Kane’s hat-trick turned the night into another Bayern celebration.
