MUNICH: Harry Kane scored a hat-trick – with two goals in second half stoppage time – to give league leaders Bayern Munich a 3-0 win over Augsburg, their sixth successive clean sheet in all competitions.

Bayern, who take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday, are undefeated in the Bundesliga and on 29 points following their fifth consecutive league game without conceding a goal.

Kane, who has scored 14 league goals, said: “We said at half time we should just keep going and create chances. Thankfully we got a penalty and from there the game opened up. We have a big week ahead, we’re in a good moment, we’re feeling good and should just keep the momentum going.”

Kane has scored 50 league goals since joining Bayern last year, needing just 43 Bundesliga games to reach that mark, faster than any player in the league’s history.

Bayern have a busy schedule coming up with PSG on Tuesday before the trip to Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga in a week. They cap off their 11-day four-match run with a German Cup last-16 clash at home to holders Bayer Leverkusen on December 3.

Bayern had more than 70pc possession for much of the first half but Augsburg had keeper Nediljko Labrovic to thank for a goalless first half after the Croatia international stopped efforts from Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala and Leon Goretzka, who also hit the bar four minutes after the restart.

Labrovic then denied Michael Olise in the 51st but could do nothing to prevent Kane from scoring with a 63rd-minute penally.

The England captain was then awarded another penalty following a lengthy VAR review in stoppage time with Augsburg’s Keven Schlotterbeck sent off for tripping him in front of goal.

Labrovic was beaten by Kane once more after picking the wrong side again before the forward completed his hat-trick only seconds later after controlling a Goretzka cross with a superb first touch and then heading in.
