Harry Kane runs the show again! Bayern Munich star masterminds comfortable victory against Union Berlin as Vincent Kompany's team stay top of the Bundesliga

It was one-way traffic right from the first whistle in a battle between David and Goliath - but this time the drama at Allianz Arena ended with no major upset as the heavyweights emerged triumphant. They took just 15 minutes to draw first blood after Benedict Hollerbach brought down Michael Olise inside the box and Kane did the rest from 12 yards.

Bayern continued to persevere for the insurance goal after taking the lead and it was always a matter of when and not if. Two minutes from half-time, the English international turned provider and set up Kingsley Coman for the second - a well-deserved return for their dominance. Stats showed that Vincent Kompany's men enjoyed 78 per cent of the possession, had a passing accuracy of 92% and created three big chances - out of which two were converted.

The Bavarians continued in the same vein after the resumption of play in the second half and took just six minutes to add another and seal the three points. Raphael Guerreiro sent in a teasing cross from the right flank and after Coman headed across the face of the goal, Kane simply tapped in to score his 11th in the Bundesliga. The margin could have been even more if the striker did not fluff his lines in the final quarter but his earlier heroics were enough to see out a meek Union side.

Kane has been in ravishing form since he moved to Germany and boasts of having 60 goal contributions - 47 goals and 13 assists - in just 41 league appearances.

Kane was the star of the match in what was nearly a spotless performance for the striker. He converted the penalty, set up Coman, and then completed his brace with a poacher's finish. As the match wore on, he was given more freedom by Kompany and the striker was seen often dropping deep to orchestrate attacks for Jamal Musiala and Thomas Muller.

Union's Danish manager Bo Svensson seemed to have no Plan B. His team could hardly break on the counters and despite going 3-0 down in the 51st minute they hardly showed any desire to move out of the blocks and test Bayern's defence. They currently hold a European spot after earning 15 spots from nine matches but it seemed that Svensson was more keen to avoid an embarrassment rather than play fearless football.

After a commanding performance in the Bundesliga, Kane and Co. will shift their focus to the Champions League where they will face Benfica on Wednesday evening.
