Harry Kane scored a hat trick as Bayern Munich started its Bundesliga title defense with a 6-0 demolition of Leipzig on Friday. The Bavarian powerhouse dominated with the exception of a 15-minute spell after halftime when Antonio Nusa went close for the visitors.

Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe is closest to the Englishman's tally with 59 goals followed by Man City's Erling Haaland 51 goals. Liverpool stalwart Mohamed Salah is fifth with 48 goals in this period. Interestingly, this was a perfect hattrick in German football as Kane scored all three goals one after another and in a single half.
