Bayern Munichs sporting director, Max Eberl, hailed Harry Kane as a killer after the strikers 23-minute hat-trick led the team to a 4-0 victory against Stuttgart at home on Saturday. The win ended Bayern's three-game winless streak across all competitions and allowed them to reclaim the Bundesliga top spot on goal difference, overtaking RB Leipzig, who had earlier won 2-0 at Mainz.
The match remained goalless until the 57th minute, when Kane opened the scoring with a powerful long-range strike. The England captain, who had not scored in his last four matches for club and country-his longest drought since joining Bayern-netted two more to complete his sixth Bundesliga hat-trick, bringing his tally to 57 goals for the club in all competitions.
Speaking to Sky Germany, Kane acknowledged the pressure that comes with a goal drought but expressed confidence in his ability and his teammates.
The 31-year-old striker, who took home the match ball, jokingly commented that his teammates were probably a bit tired of signing them due to his frequent hat-tricks.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany was unfazed by Kanes recent drought, stating that he never worried about whether Kane would score or not.
