Bundesliga record signing Harry Kane scored twice in his first league appearance in front of a home crowd on Sunday.

Kane’s brace helped to steer champions Bayern Munich to a 3-1 victory over Augsburg, making it two wins out of two matches.

Kane who joined for a league record 100 million euros (108 million dollars) from Tottenham Hotspur had also scored in last week’s league-opening 4-0 win at Werder Bremen as well as setting up another.

He got on the scoresheet with a 40th-minute penalty before adding their third goal in the 69th minute.

Kane, whose wife had their fourth child this week, has now become the third Bayern player to score three times in his first two league games and the first since Adolfo Valencia in 1993.

The striker was brought in to improve Bayern’s scoring after struggling since the departure of Robert Lewandowski last year, and allow them to challenge for the Champions League once more.
