'One step closer' - Harry Kane makes Bundesliga title claim after bagging 36th goal of season during Bayern Munich rout of Heidenheim

Bayern beat Heidenheim 4-0 on Saturday to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to nine points. With four games of the season left, and a much superior goal difference compared to Leverkusen in second, Bayern can effectively be crowned champions on Sunday if St Pauli beat Xabi Alonso's side.

Kane has never managed to win a senior trophy during his career. However, he is now on the verge of finally ending a curse that has plagued him since his professional debut, and throughout his careers with both Tottenham Hotspur and England. He has scored 36 goals for Bayern this season, and finally appears set to lift a piece of silverware.

Writing on X, Kane said: "Perfect day! Away win and a clean sheet... one step closer."

Bayern are next in action against Mainz next weekend. If Leverkusen lose on Sunday, a win in that game would confirm Vincent Kompany's side as champions.
