Harry Kane scores three goals as Bayern Munich defeats Dortmund

Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-0 away on Saturday, narrowing the gap on leaders Bayer Leverkusen to two points. Harry Kane scored a hat-trick. After being knocked out of the German Cup in midweek by third-tier Saarbruecken, Leverkusen's 3-2 win at Hoffenheim on Saturday left injury-plagued Bayern five points behind Xabi Alonso's side. The visitors, on the other hand, produced the ideal reaction, scoring two goals in the first nine minutes to seize control of the game.

Dayot Upamecano of France put Bayern ahead four minutes in off a ball from Leroy Sane. On the counter, the former Manchester City winger set up Bayern's second goal, gliding a beautiful ball across the face of the goal for Kane to tap in. Kane found the goal again 15 minutes to time and finished the thumping with an injury-time goal.
