Bayern Munich 5-1 Koln: Hat-trick hero Kane leads five-star champions

A Harry Kane hat-trick helped Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich cap their campaign with a thumping 5-1 victory over Koln at Allianz Arena.

Despite having wrapped up the title a long time ago, Bayern ensured they went out with a bang, with Tom Bischof and Nicolas Jackson also getting on the scoresheet.

It took just 10 minutes for Kane to break the deadlock; Konrad Laimer curled a lovely cross in from the right, and Joshua Kimmich helped it onto the boot of the England captain, who volleyed past Marvin Schwabe from close range.

And just three minutes later, he got his second. A free-kick on the edge of the D was played short by Kimmich, and Kane curled his first-time shot through the crowd and into the net.

However, Koln quickly got themselves back into the game in the 18th minute, as Said El Mala won possession deep in his own half before bursting forward, leaving the Bayern defenders in his wake to slot a low shot across goal.

Bischof restored Bayern's two-goal cushion just four minutes later in a lightning-quick first quarter of the match. The youngster ran onto a loose ball on the edge of the box, and picked out the bottom-left corner with a pinpoint effort.

Bayern continued to push, with Jamal Musiala and Lennart Karl hitting the woodwork, and Kane got his hat-trick 69 minutes in with his long-range drive giving Schwabe no chance.

And Jackson wrapped up the scoring with seven minutes to go, sorting out his feet quickly to coolly finish off Luis Diaz's pass.

Data Debrief: Bayern hit new goalscoring heights

Bayern scored 122 goals in the Bundesliga this season, the most by any team from Europe's top five leagues since Torino in 1947-48 (125 goals in 40 games).

And Kane has played a huge part in that – his hat-trick on Saturday took him to 36 goals for the campaign, more than any other player in the German top flight.

Bayern close out the campaign having lost just one game, doing so for the third time in their history, after 2012-13 and 1986-87.

They were dominant throughout, netting their total from 2.72 expected goals (xG), having had 19 shots, while Koln mustered just 0.9 xG at the other end.
