Borussia Dortmund 0-4 Bayern Munich: Harry Kane bags hat-trick on Klassiker debut

Harry Kane scored a hat-trick in his first appearance in Der Klassiker to bring his Bundesliga goal total to 15 in 10 games as Bayern Munich thrashed Borussia Dortmund 4-0 away on Saturday.

The England striker scored from close range after nine minutes, five minutes after Dayot Upamecano had headed a fast-starting Bayern ahead, both goals set up by Leroy Sane.

Dortmund fared better after the break, but record signing Kane scored his second goal of the game in the 72nd minute, again from close range.

Kane then completed his third hat-trick of the season in stoppage time, racing clear and finishing coolly.

He is the first player in Bundesliga history to score 15 goals in his first ten appearances, and he now leads the scoring charts this season, one goal ahead of Stuttgart's Serhou Guirassy.

The victory put champions Bayern on 26 points, two points behind leaders Bayern Leverkusen, who had earlier beaten Hoffenheim 3-2 away.

Dortmund's first league defeat of the season ended a run of 25 matches unbeaten at home, dropping them to fourth place with 21 points.

Dortmund were itching to make a statement against their rivals after stumbling on the final day of last season to hand Bayern an 11th straight title, and the fabled Yellow Wall was in full voice before kickoff.

Bayern were humiliated in the German Cup by third-tier club Saarbruecken in midweek and, despite Kane's goals, have not been firing on all cylinders, despite remaining unbeaten in the league.

But they outclassed Dortmund with their best performance of the season, seizing control from the first whistle.
