Harry Kane notched his 40th goal of the season as Bayern Munich demolished Union Berlin 5-1 in the German capital on Saturday (Apr 20). Kane planted a fine 25-yard free-kick home to score his 33rd league goal of the season – 40 in all competitions – after Leon Goretzka opened the scoring with an equally emphatic finish. Bayern exerted intense dominance on their relegation-threatened opponents in the second half as Thomas Muller scored a brace on his 400th start for the Bavarians, either side of a Mathys Tel goal.
Harry Kane scored his 33rd goal in the Bundesliga as Bayern Munich thrashed Union Berlin 5-1 at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei.
Leon Goretzka scored in the 29th minute with a fine finish from inside the box. Kane expertly curled in a free-kick to put Bayern 2-0 up on the stroke of half-time. Second-half goals came from Mathys Tel and a double from Thomas Muller before Yorbe Vertessen scored a late consolation.
Union's game plan was clear in the first half as they sat in a low block and tried to counter-attack Thomas Tuchel's side, who were fresh from securing their place in the Champions League semi-finals. But their heads dropped once Germany international Goretzka and Kane had made it 2-0, and Bayern raced away in the second period.
Tuchel's side have moved three points ahead of Stuttgart as they look to secure second spot, with Bayer Leverkusen winning the Bundesliga title last weekend.
Union, however, remain three points above the relegation play-off spot.
